I think I remember reading somewhere that the port and polish wont affect the smog, and both those cams are gonna pass with a good tune. The TR224 has to be on a 114 LSA though.

The TR224 doesn't "have" to be in a 114 lsa. There are plenty of guys that passed with a 112 with a good tune.

Stick with the TR224 114LSA to be certain of passing smog...

and you can pass with this cam and ported heads.. ED Blown Vert is a good example..

Yep, TR224/224 114 is a great cam for CA. I have one. Havent had to smog yet but I am confident that it will pass. Like the others said, ported heads wont affect smog, if anything it will make the car burn cleaner

I'd get the cam from Thunder Racing. They seem to do a nice job, very high quality. Comp is the only other company that I know of that makes that size. Or, just take the specs and go anywhere and have a cam custom ground.

The cam sounds good, especially with the open cutouts

The difference with the 114 and the 112 the 112 has a rougher idle and will give you better mid range power. I think the cam sounds pretty mean i would get the 112 and get a good tune and you will still pass smog, I think the 112 has a hard time passing the sniffer test. Im waiting for the TR 224/112 in the mail and will go in right away, im not worried about passing smog i live in orange county california.
