Cal smog ?'s About to order a cam here and am thinking on going with the TR224 114lsa but am concerned with smogability. Does this cam require alot of tuning to pass smog? Car is a M6 and I want to go as big as I can but still pass the sniffer test. Any California guys or gals have this cam grind and been to the sniffer???

Re: Cal smog ?'s That cam should pass with the proper tuning, and elimination of trouble codes. No one will pass you with the SES light on. I had a 222 230 on a 114 that would pass the sniffer no problem. If you are worried you could always go with a 220TR on a 114 lsa grind.

Re: Cal smog ?'s sounds good then. Also as I understand it the 114lsa is a easier idle than the 112lsa improving idle passability. My stock idle is 800 and the plan is to have 2 edit files - 1 for max performance and 1 for smog - so I can just flash the smog file in before I go to get the cert (when time comes).
