Default Cam help - Tuner help

The first thing is I live in Calif. I have 1999 coupe with 17,000 miles Trying to find cam that will still tune and pass smog. I am going to run AFR 1510 heads an ls6 or fast 90 manifold.Was looking at 2002 zo6 cam but would like to go a little bigger if I can.I want to use Comp cams. The z cam is 204/218 duration and 0.551/0.547 lift.Also there are a couple of different part numbers on ls6 manifolds.I think I need the one that the last 3 numbers are 572.

Go with a cam that is as big as possible to pass CALF smog

for the most part that would be

224/228 581/588 113

the 212/218 would provide a bit more but there are more then stock

with the AFR 205 heads the 224/228 cam should pass as it has in the past
