Everything I have read on this cam is that it will not pass CA emissions. You need a cam with less overlap.

The one I heard really had a huge lope to it at idle, good sounding cam. But a good sounding lopie idle is not good for emissions!

You need something in the 220-224 range of duration, and a 114 or larger LSA. Check the vendors on the left side. Almost everyone has a cam that meets that description (and frequently label it an emissions cam.)

Give us a call as we have CA legal cams that we can install here in Phoenix, AZ or our new shop south of San Francisco.
