Default help with cam and emission test

I have 2002, LS1, AR headers w/ catted y, M6, and 4.10's
I am looking for a cam to go with TFS 215 heads and ported fast intake.
Looking for good low end trq and mid-range power.
Catch is I have to pass emission test.
Or is this setup over kill for a small cam?
Thank you.

mine passed under throttle just fine, at idle it was reading unburnt fuel, so a 224 cam is the biggest your going to get away with

Where are you located? Does your state just plug into your car and check for codes? If so, any cam can pass emissions.

So you passed with your 224/228 cam? Is it the AFR 6010 224/228-.581/.588-114?

Mass is OBDII only as well.

Also found this out recently, cars 1995 and older just got easier in Mass:

However, starting on October 1, 2008, the Program was updated in some significant ways:
......
Vehicles made in model years 1995 and older no longer receive a tailpipe emissions test, but are checked for visible smoke during their safety inspection.
