Already did a search and found alot on Semlin's threads.. pm him as well and seeing other opinions on what to do to ensure passing with flying colors....Looks like in Nov i have to take the LC for emissions testing....Ran my VIN on the DMV website/Dept Air Quality Control and found an emissions report . This must have been at the dealership prior to them selling it to me last 12/03...looks like the carbon monoxide is kinda high..

Carbon monoxide: Measured in a percentage, carbon monoxide is partially burned fuel molecules. Excessive amounts can be caused by, but not limited to, problems with the air/fuel mixture or fuel delivery (carburetor or fuel injection), slow reacting oxygen sensor, diluted engine oil, or a dirty air cleaner...

Things i need to due to make sure i pass with flying colors:
Things done so far: new plugs, wires, cap, rotor, cleaned TB, air filter, Redline Complete Fuel System Cleaner 2 wks ago..noticed big drop in startup RPM and quicker response on the throttle than before...

Things will do : throw another bottle of Redline or BG44k week of the test and the methyl hydrate day of

Any other recommedations ?? thanks...
