there was another guy on one of the other tech sites who was having trouble passing with an x-cam. radical cams can sometimes have trouble with the sniffer test.

flyin, a blower cam usually will have no problem passing smog. The X cam is not really a choice cam to be running with a blower. Why not look into something like a blower cam? Youll get more power and more likely pass smog.
