Default Heads and Cam combo question

Hey guys what's up? I want to get the AFR 195cc LT4 heads, but I don't know what cam to use. I want something with some nasty lope, but it still has to pass emissions. I have a guy that is going to dyno tune it for me and says that he can make a rather nasty cam pass the sniff test. Any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Sounds like you need something in the 306, or xe 230/236, or 233/239 range on a smaller lsa. But to pick the perfect cam talk to someone at combination motorsports they have nothing but the best selection of cams and people who know which cam to use.

I've heard of the CC 224/230 passing emissions on a 114 lsa. Tuning is key for that. Probably make some pretty decent power if you get some higher than stock ratio rocker arms.
