I don't know if you're messing with me, or insulting me because I'm asking questions. I'm not mad at your or anything it's just stuff written through text online gets blown out of proportion. I was just hoping you'd leave some feedback if you come back to this thread since you drive some BAD ASS cars lol.

All supercharger kits such as the Sprintex, Kraftwerks, Jackson Racing, Vortech will allow you to use your stock header and front pipe with the OEM cats, and most of those kits also offer a CARB legal tune as well.
As far as knowing a bad tune? Well there are a lot of variables, but the big ones are running too rich, or worse, too lean, poorly set up ignition timing that could cause detonation, starting and stalling issues, and the list goes on.

Yes, emissions is a big thing for me. I don't wanna dive into the turbo route like some of my friends did and now they gotta figure out how to pass emissions now.
I probably should add this to my OP post but I did look at some SC kits, (Vortech, Jackson, and Innovate) Yeah ironically as much as I don't like superchargers. I probably will have to go this route.

You don't have to have a dyno tune, but you need a good tune which means you need to datalog it and have corrections made to the tune based on your setup. A good tune is worth any amount of money or any distance you have to drive to get it. I would say making the drive to HRI Tuning would be worth it for you.

This is the part where it was a bit harder for me to understand. So let's say I do install my turbo kit or SC kit. I was told that I can't drive it anywhere because I need to get it tuned. I read somewhere about the turbo is that. I'm fine as long as I don't hit boost. So maybe you can educate me on this subject. Regarding turbo and Superchargers.
