cam question for CA emissions
Overlap is good but don't know if that duration will kill it. I'm sure all anyone can do is speculate.
I'm thinking you'd want more negative overlap with a cam that size.

I've got a 228/228 114LSA to put in my '02, and I plan to use Rhoads lifters to get through the smog check. These lifters should shorten up the duration in the rev area of the smog test and get me through.
What do you have for an exhaust system?

thanks
thanks
If your tryin to pass smog still is that extra bit o duration really worth risking possibly having to pull the cam out at a later date? My theory is either keep it safe or go huge.. just my .02

p.s. he went 7.60's on the motor.
Ok well I apologize, he told me it was the texas giant cam. And I know there are plenty of faster cars, but when he has that much into and is only running that its pretty sad. and I am not cocky I know there are alot of faster cars, fact is their are alot of cars with waaay more going same speed or slower and I can say they are under performing because the bottom line is, they are. Hell I know a camaro with the same as what I have done to mine (different lid and exhaust) he has a 3k stall and stock gears full weight AC and everything going 12.0. No LTs stock manifolds and all. Fact is there are plenty of cars out there that are under performing, if pointing them out makes people upset, oh well, little motivation for em.
PS he went 7.60s on the turbo at best every time I saw him
