CAMS and emissions
For those running aftermarket cams, and possibly feedback fromthe vendors that sell them: Should there be any concern about CAMS causing a car to not pass california emissions testing? I know that the parts are not CARB legal, which is of no concern to me. I just want to make sure before I make a cam purchase that they will pass emissions. Feedback please.

Don't count on getting aftermarket cams and still pass emissions. Im not 100% sure but I do beleive you will fail. Pay someone off at your local Jiffy Lube to pass you - theres a viable solution!

If you want to pass California emissions, don't install cams you'll fail. I was at RMR's shop last week and brought up the same question about cams. Eric (RMR) said any cam upgrade would fail the sniff test, they have smog tested upgraded cars with cams. You can always put your stock ones back in every two years... what a pain in the *** though.
