Default Why no 216/222 or 218/224 blower cams?

Seems like the Comp 212/218 (both high and low lift versions) is the only cam really catering to California types with smog requirements. The cams with 6* of separation needed for blowers, together with the capacity to pass smog, seems to end there. But if the TR224 can pass smog with tuning, why isn't there a 216/222 or 218/224 profile out there for those of us with blowers?

I'm installing a 224/228 with the intention of using it with a blower. 115 lsa.

Don't know about smog though. I only have to get hooked up to a computer to verify that the obd2 monitors pass....

Well I just may have to do that then. Any recommendations as to where to go (i.e. Comp, Futral, etc.)?

Anything I need to know before going into discussions about a custom cam? Will a 216/222 or 218/224 work okay in my 5800 lb beast?

call up alan @ FMS. tell him what you've already told me and be very honest on your application and i know he'll spec you a cam that will be great for you.
