    Default Ca smog, reduce smoke temp. Tune?

    I posted this in the wrong forum originally , but

    My truck is due for CA smog, where they hit the throttle three times for a smoke check.
    My truck is high mileage, and does have a bit of smoke if I do this. I have a 'torque' tune with EFI live, and was wondering
    what I can do to reduce the smoke amount for the smog check. I don't care if the truck is reduced power, or otherwise weak, I just want to reduce the smoke temporarily.
    What 'knob' can I easily tune for this LB7 ?
    Thanks !

    Lb7 changes things a bit, but it is actually easier to clean up. Go to tables B0751 and B0752 and reduce them by say 10-15%. It will make it extra laggy, but make it slower to fuel.

    Exactly what Thefermanator said.

    Log EQ Ratio (smoke indicator) and you will see what rpm range is richer, then adjust it down.
