92 RS 305 TBI. Runs Rich, wont pass inspection

Hey everyone. I have a 1992 RS Camaro 305 TBI that I am trying to get inspected and registered. The car runs a little rich and I wanted to know everything I should be looking at in order to get the car to run efficiently enough to pass inspection so that I may be able to get it registered.
I have replaced the following;

plugs
wires
cap and rotor
02 sensor

I have also ran injector cleaner through as well. What else should I be looking at? (MAP Sensor? EGR? ect...)

Thanks for the help!

there's a lot of things that can cause that but some ideas, Mass airflow, Spark plug not gap'd correctly. Does the car have any aftermarket stuff?

It has a few minor aftermarket parts which I have listed below.

SOP Headers
Throttle Body Space
K&N Airfilter
Flowmaster Exhaust

Nothing major.

You may need to get to the injectors and check them. Fingers crossed the cleaner works but you want to at least check resistances.
