Default Cam and emissions

Would a TSP 220/220 .581/.581 112 pass a Cali smog test?

I think that would be fine, there are people with 224's, but that is pushing it. Mine is a 207/220, so it is smaller and I have not smogged it yet. I dont plan to have any problems though.

Tuning plays a large role as well. I heard that a 402CI with larger cam had passed smog recently in my area.

i bet, if you had capabilities to do your own tuning you could go pretty big and then scale down the tune real good to pass emission and then ramp it al back up afterwards

I have a Vortec 350 that I stroked to a 383. I also have a Comp Camp XER 218/224 and I pass smog.

Edit: Also I only have a Nelson mail in tune.
