Default Cam Emissions

Will a big cam like a TSP Magic Stick (237/242 .603/.609 113lsa) pass emissions?

Have you passed W/ the lts? I have read people having trouble passing because the rear 02's were moved back and not operating at full temp.

Yes I passed with the lts. Someone told me that I wouldn't pass if I had a cam any bigger than a 224/224 114lsa. But I find that hard to believe.

If you have to pass the sniffer then there's no way in hell it'll pass. If it's only a visual inspection and you can get by with your current setup using the long tubes than changing the cam won't change anything.

Well you should believe it because it's true. At least for a sniffer test it is. I have heard of a few people passing with slightly higher cams 228/228 112 or even 231/231 114 but that takes one hell of a good tune.

If your emission testing does not require a sniffer test then you can get away with a lot bigger as long as the computer isn't throwing any codes which again comes down to a good tune and a great tuner.

Good luck
