Cams too big to pass emissions

Bigger is not always better. I installed a 230/236 into an LT1 and it doesn't pass emissions. I need to know how does people register their cars in different counties to avoid this issue ? .... thanks

Hahaha, I thought as much. Are you thinking of changing the cam for something else?
