Thoughts about building a California legal camaro?

Ok guys, Im not leaving from CA anytime soon so im gonna have to make the best of the laws out here. I picked up a SS camaro a couple of weeks back and I already started to toy with it a little . I figured I might as well start with a maggie supercharger since its carb legal so thats headed my way. I ordered a mbrp catback exhaust also but thats the list pretty much for engine performance. I cant seem to find any intakes that have carb numbers, long tube headers are illegal here, and a cam seems questionable. So a few questions maybe the guys that know these new camaros better then me could help answer.

1) I know shorty headers dont add much from the dyno's ive seen, but do you think I would benefit from them more considering Im running a maggie?

2) Increasing the psi on the maggie with a smaller pulley seems like a option if I up the fuel some, but considering the airflow is bottled necked by the stock intake/exhaust it doesnt seem that would be efficient, thoughts?

3) To the guys with the cams are you throwing codes? Also not sure how a car with a cam would fair on a smog machine. Im guessing something not to radical would pass. Anybody running one here in cali? thoughts?
