In '97 there was a California truck, it was only legal, in Cali. It came with larger injectors then the 49 state legal '97's
The're 130 cc and Split Shot desing, meaning there is a tiny micro injection just prior to the actual injection, so that they burn more effieicntly and less polutants. they also have a fuel pressure damper on the back of the pump, which is one sure way to notice a cali engine.

Split shots where for better emmisions reason, cali was the only place that required them at the time. now all SD have splitshots, but they are slightly large yet, I thought 140cc.
Single shots are what has been proven to make HP, so it depends on what you want. HP or emissons.

You mean that the non-cali trucks can make more reliable hp? In an earlier post, it was said that the most power achievable from what he has done to his truck would be in the high 200's if it was a cali truck, and around 200 if not. Which corresponds with my truck. I make around 220 or so at the rear.

I should have stated that I ment aftermarket larger injectors, 250cc and up, and 400+ RWHP levels. singles have made more HP then the splits. anyone over 400 RWHP, is almost always running singles. It must have something to do with the programing. 
A stock injectored OBS will make low 200's RWHP, UNLESS it has the cali splits, which are larger then the rest of the OBS truck, mid/high 200's are possible then with the cali splits.

federal(98cc) vs cali(130cc) a cali truck wins hands down...
and yes diesel rod is correct most guys with modified injectors obs or nbs run single shots...the nbs guys also hav to get single shot programming.
