15mph rpm 1830 HC - 31 CO - .07 NO - 55
25mph rpm 1899 HC - 13 CO - .01 NO - 64
but when i ran the actual test on 10/8

15mph rpm 1830 HC - 70 (max 56) CO - .33 NO - 41
25mph rpm 1899 HC - 29 CO - .10 NO - 14

Re: failed smog, please help (vile10)
Was your engin fully heated up when you went? Try really being rough on your engine before you go. There was this guy that went to a smog place and failed, and he did that and he went back and passed. Octane booster helps too.
