Default Cam+ Heads on a budget

I am looking for a cam and heads that are one cheap and two will pass inspection. I want a cam that will add a good bit of horsepower but still be easily streetable and easily pass inspection. Any idea, i was looking into like a 224/224 but after watching videos it might be too much to pass. Any help is appreciated!


EDIT:

It will be a DD sometimes, so i need one that is DDable and it will have a 3500 stall

Car is a 2000 Camaro ss with slp lid, loudmouth, and will have pacesetters by the time i get the cam +heads.

lol a torquer will not pass a cali smog check and will have a bit of a roudy idle to it. Driveablility will depend on the tune.

Cali is a tougher smog pass but the usuall answer is no bigger than 224 on 114 lsa, I'm sure there are those who go bigger and pass.

my 224 still gets pretty good fuel economy but the 4.10's didn't help. Not sure if you could pass an emissions test with it though.

The Border line is 22/228 114. . . With a great tuning and run it with cats. . you should pass no problem. . but if you have long tubes. . make sure you have at least 300 bucks to slide under the table to the visual inpector

I think he should go a LITTLE bit bigger on that intake lobe you suggested
