1) Fill her full of 87 octane.
2) Retard initial timing (spout connector out) to 6-8 degrees.
3) Get the car nice and hot before you take her in.

Worked for me. I have no smog pump and have a large cam with aftermarket heads.

I heard you can unbolt the mid pipe just a little bit....like a crack will do ...and then it'll let most of the emissions out of the crack..and you'll pass....[8D]

i'm sure thats illegal and a huge fine if u get caught... i don't have emmisions so i wouldn't know any of the tricks, but yea 87 octane makes the emissions drop, new plugs, sea foam, change oil
