Without knowing any other info about your set up, it's really hard to say. The key to passing is new cats. Other than that: freshly tuned, lower fuel pressure, and as hot as you can get it without boiling over is your best bet at passing.

Take care

A sure fire way to pass is to run the tank way down, and add a couple-three bottles of ISO HEET to your gas tank. The fuel antifreeze (isopropyl alcohol) will go the the bottom of the tank, and burn ultra clean.

After you pass, fill up with gas. It's not something I would recommend doing a lot, but it will get you to pass as alcohol doesn't make any emissions.

That's a really good tip! I've never heard that before. Does it really work?

Take care
