I passed everything in e-check except carbon monoxide 0.69 was limit I was at 1.39(give or take a few tenths i forget the exact number). How can I drop that without the obvious of getting some catalytic converters? I have long tube headers & mac exhaust so I'd be spending a bit more than I have right now to buy an h-pipe with converters. Are there any tricks anyone knows of that I could try? I know a guy that will let me rent his but again that isnt a long term thing.. I'll just pass this e-check then next time for all I know he might not have it anymore. Any information would be appreciated. I NEED to get this ****er registered before winter hits so I can put it in storage.

run your timing at 2* use premium gas w/ a TON of octane booster...and make sure it's hot when you get it in. you should pass. run your ac to heat it up even more if you have to.
