Thanks Neil, I will lower it a little. As far as ride with 16's, the comfort of 16's went out the door with Eibach Springs with Bilstein Shocks. The car actually feels like a stripped down race car. I could feel the Ants I ran over this morning

Yes, totally understand about the Front Spoiler. I was waiting for it to settle lower a little. I'm just going to lower it about 1/2."

Car is now a Gross Polluter. My HC was off the charts. Pretty much think it's the WUR and Cat. Thinking about either getting my WUR rebuilt or go with the Electronic version.
Gonna have guests over on Sat and possibly Sunday since it's Fathers Day Weekend. Your welcome to partake in the festivities. The following weekend would be best for me and yes we can do this (Tank Drop) in my driveway. The other stuff we may be able to do in the morning. I think Tank Drop is more involved. Come to think of it, the following Sat is the Carlsbad GTG. We can drive back to my house to fix your Tank issue or do all. Let me know.

I hear ya Landseer. I just needed a baseline to get started. Looking into WUR and Cat.
Here's my HC readings. Terrible and way above max.

Bummer about the test!
Cat is most likely ok based upon the NOx numbers. The HC's show something is not allowing enough fuel to burn off in the chamber, or too much got sent in, or timing of diz or cam is off(low odds because your sharp)... Also low octane will burn faster within the chamber helping lower the numbers, helped when I missed by a bit...but you may/prob. need more than low test even if your not running it for the test. Still deciding on the Hood emblem...? The rig looks so sweet, even the calipers showing the love!

Yeah, if I could make a video of the low speed runs, you can hear it mis-firing pretty bad. I believe my WUR really is the culprit. I am just debating on having mine rebuilt or just go with the Digital WUR by Unwired Tools.
Yeah, ignition timing is spot on as I had to put it back to where it was last Smog Check. Cam Timing I didn't check but looks like I at least need to verify it. I also needs to pull the plugs as I kick myself for not at least doing that the day before the test. Good thing I have the "S" to drive. It's like a night/day difference too. Thanks for the compliments.

My WUR (Control Pressure Regulator) is out for Delivery by UPS today from 928 Motorsports. Wish me luck that this resolves my throttle up stumble.
Still gotta get my Smog Pump rebuilt before the Smog Nazis test it again.

AWEEEEEE YEAHHHHHHH
Bolted up the new WUR from 928 Motorsports, fixed a vacuum issue and WALLA! This Euro NEVER accelerated so smoothly. I finally got a linear reading on my A/F Ratios. I would always lean out as I accelerated. So awesome!
