Even a god damn exhaust ticket requires a trip to the ref and a full inspection. I wanna do a N/A KA just to prove that it can be done reliably and can produce sufficient power (200 whp) while still being "smog legal" (basically the bolt-ons will be carb legal and I will use a "stock" intake mani).

On this same line of thought, what about a good custom SMIC? It would make cooling a snap, and a recirc. BOV is essentially silent. Get a quiet exhaust setup for at least the street and you're good to go. It'd be a PITA for inspections, but it wouldn't be that horrible to pull most of that junk off and get it smogged essentially stock.
Would be a pretty easy 300 rwhp capable setup if you put some thought into it.
My S13 with a stock SR setup with SMIC was pretty stealth, especially with the 4x4 stock suspension and steelies on it(swap happened early in its life with me due to a friend being a little "over zealous" when I let him borrow it).
