I was thinking this(98 Trans Am) since I need the car to pass the sniffer in Cali. 224/224 114 Cam. I posted this in the Western section with limited response.

I have a 3500 stall converter, LS6 Intake, MAC Headers, 3.42 Gears.

Might need to go a bit smaller on the cam to pass smog. Are those LT or shorty headers? What sort of cats do you have?

MAC's are a Mid-Length header, best bang for the buck back in the day. I run the MAC cats that came with the headers. I am on a budget so I am not going to spend $2,500+ for a Heads & Cam kit. I have done a lot of research on a smoggable setup & the 224 224 114 always comes up as the cam to get with a good tune, I am just wondering if this is still a good setup or is there something comparable in price that is better($1,800)

FYI, the MAC mid-length headers are not smog legal in Ca.. You would need to run a set of shorty headers that have a CARB EO #, and run the stock cats in the stock location to pass the visual inspection. IMO, you need to run a cam with like a 8* split at a minimum, like a EPS TT2 (218/226 113lsa), to help offset the more restrictive exhaust and stock heads.

I just need to pass the sniffer, Not Visual
I have been smogging the car since 2002 with the MAC Headers, So It's not an issue.

Is the valve train life of any concern to you..?

In case you didn't know the comp XER lobes are aggressive, and there's plenty of less aggressive options available.
