Default Biggest Cam and pass emissions

I'm currently trying to decide what cam to install. What's the biggest cam people are using and still passing emissions? I live in Virginia.

I will be getting a good dyno tune so I'll maximize the probability of passing.

Look at you getting all crazy talking big cams at 6am.

I can't help it. I'm up at 4:15am every day. Something's terribly wrong here.

LG makes an emissions passing camm. Add a set of AFR heads and get ~451rwph. For a Z06 anyways...

Another option is the Futral Motorsports F4 cam: 226/226 .575/.574 114 which uses CamMotion lobes. I'm assuming that you have to pass the dyno emissions test where they run your car at 15mph and 25mph, while checking emissions vs. only plugging into the PCM and checking for codes.
