I dont think you are going to have any luck passing smog with long tube headers. Instead of long tubes go with the AFM 1 3/4 shorties with a bbk or bassani x pipe and it will run close to as good as with the long tubes might be 5 hp less with the shorties but they will have less ground clearance issues.
Kyle I passed with long tubes...oh wait no I didnt-I got busted with them. Ooops my bad.

They've had treadmill testing in SoCA and Sac for a long time, I've never heard anyone failing because of gears or a mismatch of RPMs. At 25mph in 2nd gear, the difference between 2.73 and 4.10 is about 850rpms.

I've had to shift a bone stock Saturn from 2nd to 3rd to keep it in the desired rpm range, so while the dyno does prompt you to stay in a certain gear, most will try to get achieve the desired rpm and speed. When i ran my '65 just for the 'el of it, I did have to shift to third to keep it within the rpm range(I run 3.70's w/26" tires,225/50/16 Dunlop D60's).
Also, the new enhanced smog check that the bay area will get in October is NO different than the one in LA and the Central Valley that has been in use since 1997. The same stuff applies, if you find a smog tech dumb enough to risk loosing his smog license, get fined, and even go to jail, to overlook your non-CARB mods then you have little to worry about. But with then amout of time and money a tech must invest to get his or her license now, I think there will be fewer willing to risk it, I know I wont.
