Hi, This going to be my first cam swap in my 99 LS1 TA M6 and I was wondering will this cam setup pass CA smog? I'll be using my stock 99 ls1 heads and will be using 03 zo6 springs and maybe ls6 intake. Also, what lenght pushrod should I be using with this setup? here's the specs of the cam :equivalent of GM's 'Hot Cam' part# 24502586:Grind Number# HR-279-CSB

Valve Setting:

IN./Hyd.

EX./Hyd.

RPM Operating Range:

1800 to 6600

Duration:

Advertised IN./.275 EX./.287

@.050" IN./218 EX./228

Valve Lift:

1.7 Rocker: IN./.558 EX./.558

Sprins: LS6 or equivalent

Lobe Sep. Angle:

PLEASE HELP ME!!!

I heard of people passing CA smog with Hot Cam. Just make sure you get a good tune...

As far as pushrods - get stock-length 7.400 inch pushords.
