I've heard of the TSP 224r passing just fine also, its probably what im going with, but the cheatr would work fine.

I'm still trying to get good power out of it. I know a good tune will help me pass but after I get smog I'll just tune it back up

I'm probably about to be selling a 224r with a 112 lsa if you ain't already got something lined up and choose to go that route, I don't know about California smog but it does drive mostly like stock

I don't think I ever got it, my new one is on the way now so I could pull it soon and have an excuse to put my ls6 intake on as well

You really don't want a single pattern cam like a 224/224 114lsa(-4* OL), you need a wide split like the Tick performance 218/230 117lsa(-10*OL) cam to use with the more restrictive manifolds and cats.
FYI, the 224/224 112lsa cam is to big (0* overlap), You need at least -4* overlap overlap; preferably more. Id also consider having the factory heads milled and ported or buy some SMOG legal performance heads like the AFR210s. With high flow heads you can go with less split like a 218/226, then you also can go with a narrower lsa like a 115 but still have -8* overlap.
