Default Cam's in Cali....

Hey, im finally going to do the cam...
But i am in between a 228 duration and a 224 duration (basically because that is all that will pass smog in California, am i right?)
Any of the California guys know if a 228 duration cam will pass smog for sure, i am positive that a 224 will but i would love to go bigger than that...
Anyone know if i can and still pass smog?

224 on a 112 should pass ( good tune)
