Check out the western members section. I believe a 224/224 is about as big and as safe as you can run.

Contact Tony Mamo. I'm sure he can spec you a cam that will pass emissions and hauls *** too. He lives out in California his self so I bet it'll be a walk in the park for him.

I'm in CA and personally run a 221/221 that Martin@Tick spec'd for me. Its a real sleeper and I enjoy it. Anything bigger than 224/224 you start to chance, if you have to pass the sniffer test.

Sniffer required for 2000 and earlier, 2001+ is plug in OBD Port only.
