Message out of state TT's last year and passed without any problems (both federal spec, and stage III+). The tech mentioned both cars were "very clean".

If I'm reading this right, the only area that's close is the 15 mph HC level. IIRC, HC emissions are the result of incomplete combustion of the fuel which could result from any number of factors that could cause the car to be in an excessively rich or lean condition. Which Ashspec program are you running in your ECU? The a-spec or c-spec? If it's the a-spec, I wonder if it could be a little too lean.

Also, did you do any kind of a tune up prior to the smog test (check/clean the air filter, replace the fuel filter, check/gap plugs, check timing, etc?). Also, did you come from a state with 93 octane? If yes, it probably would have been a good idea to retune for 91 (essentially retard the timing).

I hope this helps.

Dave
