Cam question for Ca. members
It's overlap that you're concerned about (LSA isn't the only factor that plays into that equasion) but the general rule for Cali members is the TR224 on a 114 LSA to keep it smog legal (still need cats). Most people run LTs, highflow cats and whatever else (need someone to overlook the visual if you have headers) and make about 380ish to the wheels keeping it smog legal with supporting boltons.
FYI: ANY mod that moves the cats away from the stock location is ILLEGAL in CA. I'm just talking about passing SMOG - IF someone will overlook the visual test.

I posted the question on the corvetteforum also and it seems that LG Motorsports has a g5x1-e cam that is pretty aggresive that makes quite a bit of power and will pass smog in Cali with a good tune. A member dynoed 470 rwhp at Synergy with the g5x1-e, AFR 205's, Tony Mamo ported Fast 90 w/ls2 tb, ud, LGM street headers. I called LG Motorsports and they said with L92 heads on a 346 and supporting mods through LG pro headers w/cats they have dynoed 490 rwhp and the cam will pass smog in Cal. Impressive. The cam is on a 115 lsa but otherwise LG wouldn't give more specs...said it was secret. It is a little larger than their base g5x1 on a 112 or 114 lsa but i believe comes in at -2 overlap. It is more aggresive than the TR 224 on the lobes and lift with more duration according to LGM and will make more power.

i would have passed with my ms3 but havent had to smog yet. i will pass with the cam thats in my 408 when it comes time to smog and its in the high 250s.....i would much rather pay an extra 400 dollars and run the cam of my choice 
Same here! Paid $160 and Passed w/long tubes and no cats. Simple as that.I'm Also looking for a Cam for a DD SS. I been reading most people go under the curve. I only street race and track it twice a year. I keep hearing MS3-4 , ASR, and Trex to name a few. Any suggestions?
