Default How hard to get TR224 to pass CA emissions????

got my headers coming and my exhaust soon to go on. By the end of this year I plan to have the TR224 with 114 LSA cam installed and I was just wondering if I can't get hooked up on smog, how hard would it be to make this cam pass??? I know the 220 will pass no problems but I want more power.

thanks

I think if you:
1.) lean out the base with the MAFT
2.) fresh spark plugs
3.) keep the car warmed up a long time

i think the car would have a good chance of passing. I hope that it passes <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> The 114 lsa also helps out a lot too...i dont think anyones smogged a 224 cam in cali?

i have heard several people say its passed in Cali...it right on the edge though so just a lot of fine tuning. BTW im out in Cali and ill be getting the TR224 in a month or 2. Just have to find a place that wont look for headers

Can't hurt to do an oil change immediately beforehand, either. I got a highly modified car to pass smog here once by virtue of brining it to a shop in a (euphemism) neighborhood where they no speaka de English but they do speaka dinero... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
