Depends on the specs of the cam and what you are doing with the car. If it's a 'huge' cam with a really tight lsa, it might be more difficult to tune it for streetability. You shouldn't have a problem finding a reputable tuner to tune it for you.

well it is going to be a smog legal cam, so i think it might be on a pretty wide lsa does that make it easer to tune?

Pretty much any smog legal cam will be relatively easy to tune for by anyone with tuning experience.

Just ask Cam Master Jay for his tuner recommendations. Problem solved.
