Long tubes are illegal in Cali and you do need to tune any significant cam right away. Do it right, save your pennies and wait. Otherwise your enthusiasm might cost you a motor.

In any case this is what I would suggest

220/226 .581/.581 115+3 LSA (XE-R Comp Cam lobes custom grind)

i know long tubes are illegal but i plan on running cats and i know it will still be technically illegal because of moving the cats im only concerned about the sniffer, and would i be ok with a good mail order tune?
