Default Cams and Emissons Testing

Hey guys, almost time for me to choose a cam.

I've looked around a bit but can't find what I'm looking for. I currently have my eye on the LG-G5X3 series cam.

Does anyone know if that will pass an emissions test? I suppose I'll probably have B&B Bullets and LG Street Longtubes at the time I have the cam installed, I already have the B&B Bullets.

What are your experiences with emissions testing and fairly aggressive cams?

In general you need a cam with negative overlap and a "perfect" tune to pass a sniffer. There are very few folks that have gotten anything bigger than a TR224 114 on a stock displacement 5.7 to pass a sniffer. If they are just doing an OBDII scan and aren't sticklers on the visual you should be ok.
