I wouldnt think you would be able to pass smog anyways since you dont have a cat.

I'm currently looking for cams for my car aswell, and need help with recommendations. My set up as follows; S2 Pro man, DC racing header, 2.5inch cat back, aem intake, and an S100.

Which cam shaft would I be able to buy to give me the best power increase while still passing the tail pipe emissions. Like the OP I also live in Cali.


Edit: I also currently dyno'd my car and made 182whp on a dyno jet. My plans with the set up is to keep it N/A and aim for ~200whp.
I'm hoping it's attainable, considering my only mods are I/h/e so far.

Why you care about passing the sniffer if you have other mods that will give themselves away?

I had blox B's (like Skunk stage 2) and buddy club 3+
I liked the buddy club 3+ more because of the torque even though the Blox B's made almost 10whp more

Not everything is about max horse power

Thanks for your input ITRacer.

Does anyone have any help with this subject? I searched as best as I could but I cant really find much as far as cams which pass emissions. There's tons of info on cams, but I couldn't find much on whether they would pass the sniffer or not.
