Need cam recommendations

[88GThatchback]

Im thinking about getting some AFR 165's and a cam. I can't figure out what cam to get. A lot of people say go to Ed and get a custom cam. Im in CA and need to pass smog. Im not sure what the inspectors going to say when it has a lopey idle and I dont have a carb # for the cam. I want it to have a nice lopey idle but it needs to have a carb #. What do I look for when choosing a cam? How do I know if ill have piston to valve clearence problems? What else will I need to make all this work? I know ill need rockers and probly pushrods. My mods are in my sig.

Thanks,
Clay

ed can burn you a emission legal cam and get you a nice set of 165's too talk to him about your cali deal. he is a pro and im sure he has tons of customers in cali that need the same thing as you.

The CA inspector i went to didnt like my Trick Flow stage 1 cam and wouldn't let me smog test so for ease i became a sheep and bought the e303.

Personally would spend the money for a custom but one off shalf I would get for your application is Crane 444221 (used to be 2030).
