Lowering cam for CA emissions, no tuning here, can I drive it to a tuner? I currently have a 230/235 114 cam and am moving to a 219/230 117 (CheaTR cam).
There is genuinely nothing in Utah, including - DYNO MACHINES!!!
Would it be okay to drive to a reputable tuner in California - about 700 miles?
Would it be better to get a "mail-in tune" instead?
I am somewhat of the mind that a "mail tune" would probably be no closer than what is already in the PCM.
Thanks!

This cam may have passed three months ago in california, things are changing for the worse here. I doubt you will pass the catalitic readiness monitor, wich will cause your evap to not set also. You can no longer get away wth two readiness codes not set!!!

So help me out here...
I will be running full emissions, sensors, and stock cats. I shouldn't need to do much other than change timing and fuel tables, is there a reason the CheaTR wouldn't pass?

Why do you doubt that. Get the cat good and warm and you will be fine. The more I look at this, the more into this, the more it sounds like it might be leaking out someone's ***.

His cam has sufficient overlap... with O2 sensors he should be able to pass.
When I smogged in 2009, CA/BAR was already allowing [since 2008] only one non-ready monitor on 2001+ cars, so that's nothing new.
There no reason his catalyst monitor won't pass. I have seen the evap monitor pass regardless of cats.
