Default CA corvette owners please READ!!!!!!!!!!

I am doing a head and cam swap this Friday and need help!!!!!!


I already have the heads, LS6 243 castings ported with 62cc combustion chambers, and I need the cam.


MY QUESTION IS THIS:

What size cam (What Specs/LIFT/DURATION/LSA/ETC.) can I put in this thing to maxamize power while still being able to pass the California Emissions Test (SMOG). I have completely stock exhaust from the manifolds to the mufflers. I have LS6 Intake manifold and a cold air intake. The rest of the car is completely stock.


I need input from CA vette owners who have done a cam and head swap and have passed a smog test.

I would STRONGLY suggest that you contact Andy at A and A or Westcoast Corvette for the info. Either can give you outstanding suggestions on har far you can go with your set up. Good Luck
