My car passes CA's smog test
Who says you cant have power and be "green" at the same time??
15 MPH:
HC: max 110, meas: 93
CO: max 0.71, meas: 0.70
NO: max 772, meas: 42
25 MPH:
HC: max 85, meas: 79
CO: max 0.59, meas: 0.45
NO: max 711, meas: 62
My HC (hydrocarbons) and CO (carbon monoxide) numbers are close to max, meaning I'm a little bit rich. I'll have to adjust the low-rpm tables a bit to compensate. Having 30lbs injectors will do that. But that NO value (nitrogen dioxide) being that low means the EGR is really working.
The cats are 2+ years old too, not new.

All I need now is a better 1/4 mile ET to go with my horsepower/torque numbers, and I'll have one of the best daily driven thirdgens in SoCal!

EDIT- You might also play with the MAP AE filters. I have seen bigger than stock cams have just enough variation to trip the MAP AE and pour in fuel without reason. Also when it comes inspection time, if you were to retard your timing 4-6* across the board, it would help clean up those HCs.
