Default HELP which camshaft should I go with??

I live in CA and i still haev to pass smog and i hear the largest i can go is a 224/224. I have 3 cams in mind and what do you guys think would be the best for power. they all have the option of a 114 LSA but would a 112 LSa with good tune still pass Smog? the 3 cams are...

1.Texas Speed 224/224 XE Camshaft
224/224, .566"/.566"

2. Texas Speed 224R Camshaft
224/224 .581/.581

3.Thunder Racing Custom Camshaft
TR 224 224/224 .563/.563

all the 224 grinds are good but the new rage is EPS lobes. those cams are old technology get ahold of geoff or pat g and have them spec you out a cam.

I agree. Off the shelf crap is old news. Geoff specs cams for the best and his results speak for themselves. He will also spec cams for anyone who calls. his cams are maybe $20 more, but it will do everything you want it to and more. You just need to talk to him!

or, if you are set on a 224 cam..

Why not have the best of both worlds?

Here's a "224" cam unlike any of the other 224's pimped on this site, and it blows ALL of them out of the water! You won't pull these lobes out of a comp catalog..

How about a little 224 cam that makes almost 450rwhp/415rwtq, makes 365ft/lbs at just 3000 rpm (mad streetability), AND carries power all the way to 6800? Did I mention you can even run beehives with this cam? Did I also mention this was with bone stock LS6 heads with just a valve job?

It's a Bauer Racing Engines 224 cam. He can easily be found on the internet with a simple search.

Here's a dyno thread with one:

BRE 224 cam with stock LS6 heads goes 450/415

How can you argue with those results??

You could also get ahold of PredatorZ...

I'm in love with his El Torro cam, though that's too big for you, im sure he has some other stuff up his sleeve.

my 2 cents.
