From the front you cant tell you even have a cam. From the rear you can slightly tell its thier. The car will also have just a slight shake to it.

That is a real small cam you are looking at. I think you may want to look into the 224/224 114lsa with 581 lift instaed. I passed smog no problem with this cam.

i bet with a good tune you could pass with 228-232, i have seen people pass with the old mms 229 cam, plus the 228 - 232, make real nice power, mind you it will most likely pass on the ragged edge, and will most likely need to be pretty hot (cats).

I am getting a cheap price for it. Plus might be adding some form of heads and forced induction. I already have a car that doesnt or barely passes smog as it is and it a pain in the ***. So this car will get scaled back a hair. 350 to 400 HP rwhp should be suffice

I just got the Futral F2 cam it's a 224/224 114LSA with .581 lift. I'm going with dual valve springs (good up to .650). Comp 918's are only good up to .600... a little to close to the edge for my liking.
