Default Cali Smog Sucks!

I hate california smog rules.I failed twice already.

Things I've done:

192 thermostat
BBK High Flow Cats
New 02's
I even threw in some of that "Garunteed to pass" stuff

I still can't pass. I'm not far from it I just need about 12 points to pass. I'm open to any suggestions

okay. And should run 87 or 91 (I normally run 91)

but even dropping my timingmight not be enough to pass. Are there any other tricks. Should I change something else?
