NOx max at 1500 rpm is 716/ im at 2797, max at 2800 rpm is 764/ im at 1743.
I dont really understand because it is driving better than it ever has and getting better gas milage @ 32 mpg

The engine is running lean or hot. Check for low fuel pressure or a stuck open FPR. The o2 sensor also could be bad. Also check the thermostat.
