i know the 224/224 will pass but is that the highest that will pass smog (especially here in california) i just pulled off my lt's last week and am now back to stock but have a tr230/224 brand new sitting in the box in my room i can't use without lt's and plus i know that won't pass a sniffer lol so cam gurus any suggestions on a different spec?

The general rule of thumb is -7 degrees of overlap at .050" will pass smog every time. -4 degrees might pass, but the cats need to be really good and the tune needs to be razor sharp. 0 degrees of overlap at .050" almost NEVER passes.
TR 224 on a 114LSA = -4 degrees (maybe pass)
TR 230 on a 111LSA = 5 degrees (dirty, no way pass)
TR 220 on a 114LSA = -8 degrees (definitely pass)
215/230 on a117LSA CheaTR = -11 degrees (definitely pass)

How do you know what the overlap is? On my cam card it doesn't have overlap or do I not know what to look for?

Sorry for all of the posts. Isn't it a lot easier to just pay $300 every few years and have the power/setup you really want? I ask this because I'm moving back to NorCal in 6-7 months. I see a lot of Cali Tech members with signatures that would never pass smog. Good luck.
