Hood poppings in socal? Options

[mrgrape]

k ive been away for a while looking at the 240 forums.
in here i never heard of illegal engines...or even yet how bad CA enforcement is on mods.
Reading 240sx forums, ive gained an insight on how much of a pain in the ass it is to have a nice tuned car without getting it impounded or reffed.

anyways back to the point, test drove a s14 sr20det today and wow it was pure balls...300 RWHP
the car looks stock/black coated exhaust/no tint/
as long as i drive normal, and keep my foot on clutch and coast in neutral around cops, wont i be fine and not have any probable cause for them to pop my hood?

asking 6gc for an unbias view on running illegal engines under the hood in socal
2 points:it will be my daily driver 20 mile commute and ill be driving slow in the slow lane.

if you don't want to risk being pulled over and have a cop pop your hood, move to another state. Cause i know if i had a 300hp 240 id drive it balls out every once in awhile. and id prolly wrap it around a tree learning to drift, haha. but we all know your gonna speed, everyone does it especially if you have a car that has alot of balls.
