CheatR and CA emissions...help!!!

So Im in Italy until May, but when I get back home, the first thing i need to do is smog my car. I have installed already a TR CheatR camshaft (specs in sig.), with stock manifolds and a borla cat-back, along with a few small bolt-ons. I need to get it tuned before smogging, can i get a tune to pass smog in CA with this cam?? After it passes SMOG, im going to full exhaust/intake, then re-tuning again.

Any help is appreciated.

Allot of people have said that if you Seafoam the car just before the smog test,......you'll pass. Might wanna look into that.

Did you ever smog test your combo? What is the approximate weight of your RX7 by the way?

I took the car to the ref and it passed smog with the stock motor in it. Now it has the AFR heads (with a carb #) and the Cheatr cam. I bet it would pass with manifolds and cats but I don't need to test it for another year.

I don't know what the car weighs right now.. it's probably in the 2800 area in street trim.
