Default Those with cams in Cali?

If you have an upgraded cam and you live in cali please post up what you have and if you can pass smog with it. I want to go semi radical on my 5.3 but I have to try and pass smog come april next year. Is there any way to possibly just get the cam I want like a 224/224 560+/560+ 112 or possibly a little bit bigger and still pass emissions testing? Maybe have keep 2 pcms laying around one with a very very conservative tune that can pass smog standards and then another for performance when I dont have to worry about it?

From what I understand 224-226 is about the most you can get away with.

I've heard that a 220/220, tuned properly, will pass. More than that and you better have a killer tuner (and say a prayer while you're at it).
