Well I searched most the popular companies, crane cams, comp cams, Anderson Ford, Steeda, etc. And I havent found a CA emissions legal cam for a blower setup. Im going with rebuilt 302, AFR 185's and KB blower. any advice on cam?

Are you considering a custom cam?

Jay Allen of Camshaft Innovations could do this for you...

Are they emissions legal, im pretty sure the comp cams arent. And for custom cams I would go, but I pretty sure thay are smog legal also...See is CA we need to have CARB EO# for them to pass, Every aftermarket part I install, I have to have CARB EO#, Im pretty sure even I I get a custom cam, with specs that will pass, It has to have the CARB EO# or the smog shops wont pass it. CA sucks for modified cars...AM I just screwed for a blower cam? Or will I have to use like a TFS1 cam for my blower setup or us a E legal N/A cam with EO#'s?
The Smog carb EO#, are on this website, or parts that are 50 stale smog legal

I have a great deal of respect for the fact that you are following 'The Intent' of the emissions laws (In my opinion not enough people are doing this)

But,
They aren't going to dis-assemble your motor to get the part numbers off your cam.
Tell them the car sounds the way it does because of the exhaust and that you are using a stock cam.


Keep in mind, I am not familiar with CA emissions, as I live in WA...
But I don't think this approach would cause you any issues.

I still think custom would be the way to go.
