224/224 ?'s I am looking into doing a cam... yea i am stuck in tree lovin gay *** CA 
this seems to be the popular smog cam from what i have found searching around here for the past couple weeks. My current mods are in my sig. I was wondering if this cam would work good with my current setup??? Can you run this cam with stock head (changing the valve springs of course ). It this a good daily driven cam?? Which LSA would i have to run 112 or a 114???
Any info would be greatly appreciated
Hell if u have one lying around let me know
(i know i will have to get a tuned to get by smog/ perform optimal reguardless)
Thanks

I was wanting to get this Cam also. I am not sure if I am totally correct & someone else will chime in here..You don't need to change the heads with this cam, If you want the most power out of it I am sure there is a set that will match up good. It depends on how much HP you want. I think the 224 244 114 is a dood daily driver & will pass smog easily, I think the 112lsa Might barely pass smog & you would need a good tune for the cam, Probably a good idea to tune the 114 also to get the most power out of it. I see you have Nitrous, I don't know if this cam is good for that? Like I say, a lot of people here will give you their opinions.

You will pass smog with a 224/224 with a 114 lsa. On a 112 lsa it can also be done but needs more tunning and is harder to get it to pass. Of course if you know someone that will pass it for you go bigger. As for stock heads there is a few members in this section that run alot bigger of a cam with stock heads.

I just passed smog today with a TR224-114 with home-ported heads and stock exhaust manifolds and cats. I wasn't even close to failing, so I suspect you could go with a bigger cam with no issues.
I didn't do anything specific to smog in the tuning, either.

224 doesnt sound like a bad cam, it definately beats the stocker, and if you can get away with it, great. I'd say screw the smog ***** and get a big cam if you're gonna go ahead and do all the necesary cam swap stuff. MS4 sounds like a killer cam to me, good power from midrange up.

I have the mti c2 224/224 on a 112 and it pulls hard in the upper rpm's. Plus it has a little loop to it so the old school guys hear it and notice the muscle car. I would take 67rs advice and get a bigger cam though, if you can find a smog hook up.

currently runnin the 224/224-112 and about to swap it out for the TRex next month. it just wasn't enough for me although it was great for daily driving and a first cam while it lasted.
if you can find a hookup... all the better
or you can find a friend/relative out of state and hook you up
