Default LG cam question

I'm looking for some decent gains and I've decided to upgrade my 2000 FRC's cam. I've been doing some extensive research and I can't find a definite answer as to what cam will pass California emissions. The only thing I'm seeing is the Thunder Racing TR224/224 will pass easily. I would rather go with an LG cam (either the G5XE or G5X1). Can anyone give some insight with either of these choices as far as California emissions are concerned?

I have had bigger cams pass. I would talk to Rick as well. He is a dealer of ours and can tell you better as far as the tuning required to do so.

The largest I've seen on the Tech Forums that passed was a 226 deg.
with a wider 114 or 116 lobe separation and the fella had his heads
milled like .030" or .035" which obviously jacked the compression ratio
up to help smooth out the duration.....proper tune assumed.
