Do you have a tune loaded? Most tunes turn off some of the O2 sensors and they read as "not ready". In that case, you need to load an emissions tune and drive the car for about 50 miles before taking it for the test... or so I've been told.

No I have no tunes loaded just cams air intake and exhaust everything else is stock but thats what they were telling me, to drive like 50 to 100 miles before going through the test.. the last time i went there i drove like 30 miles. I got to try getting to 50 and up i guess. thanks for ur help!
