Comp makes a lot of good off the shelf emissions legal cams. I'm looking into the TFS stg 1 as it is emissions legal and is suppose to be one of the better off the shelf cams.
I dont have alot of experience with cams, but my Crane 2031 is 50-state legal and I like it for what I have and where I live. Some call it a mild cam, but a powerband that starts at 2000 and needs 3.55+gears isnt mild in my eyes. Unfotunately I cant tell you if it will pass emissions because my car isnt due for another year(from this month actually). I think it will though, simply based on smell and that my new engine doesnt use oil unlike the previous.
I've got the Crane 2030, 1.6 RR and just passed CA emissions with plenty of margin. It has a nice wide torque band from 2000-6200 and works great with my 2500 RPM stall converter and 3.73s.
