Cool, well thank you for all the awesome replies. It sounds like there are definitely pros and cons between the 5th gen and 5.5 gen. As for power, that's not a top concern for me (used to be when I...

I would check other injectors. These tend to fail VERY close in time to each other. I had one replaced and literally had another fail within 3 days.

That's probably true, but in my situation I have a K&N air filter, and they obviously have enough money to pay for testing. It's just interesting that I passed so easily and yet it's illegal. Maybe...

Why are racing air filters illegal (in CA)?

I have K&N RU-2820 air filter which is branded as a "universal air filter" that may be used for racing/off-road, etc. It does not come with a C.A.R.B. sticker (meaning it's not legal here in CA)....
