Default X-charger CA SMOG time

Got my notice from the DMV and my car is due for an emmisions test. I loaded the Smog friendly tune (RET Street Tune) I received when I bought the extreme kit and am having some trouble.
I installed the OEM air box and swapped the sensor.
The engine is showing error code P0172 = system too rich. Is there anything I can do to lessen the fuel? And how can i tell if the O2 sensors are on?

Smog is due in March so I was trying to get ahead of the game.

You might need to consider putting the stock componets back on.

Taking the supercharger off the car and returning it to stock is not a realistic option. This was the reason I purchased the CARB approved kit and expect it to pass an inspection. Tomorrow I'm going back to my tuner to have him write another tune for the X-charger that hopefully won't cause engine error codes.
It's disappointing that the tune I purchased from Explorer express doesn't work properly. Maybe we can tweak the original SMOG friendly tune and make it work properly. I'll have more info tomorrow and report back.

Check with RET and see if they can write you another tune, which is emission friendly.
Good luck!
