I know that a big cam in a 346ci LS1 won't pass emissions, but if you put that same cam in a bigger cube engine will that affect your emissions???

I know of a MMS 229 cam in a 383 that passed the roller type emissions in Denver.

When I had the 221/221 T1 cam in my all-bore 382ci engine, it passed easily.

I would like my car to pass emissions in 3 1/2 yrs when I have to get it tested, and was considering a B1 cam just to pass emissions.

But, if my plans include a bigger bore/stroke engine in the future then I guess I can go with a bigger cam now....hmmmmmm

A gentleman I know in Denver had an MTI 422 in a C5 Vette with the R1 cam and it easily passed the Colorado idle/2500rpm test. That cam would fail in the stock displacement miserably. Does anyone have emissions info on the S1 cam MTI is now using in 422s?
