PFC+Emissions question

I put in a PFC recently and set the fuel map to extra rich in most places since I haven't had a chance to properly tune it yet. I have the basic bolt-ons (air intake, DP, high-flow cat, CB, SMIC) plus a denso fuel pump. Do you think it would be a bad idea to pop in my stock ECU for the emissions test? Or is there some other "safe" map I could load my PFC with just for the test?

Well for one thing, you didn't need to set the PFC "super rich" with those mods...running rich isn't good for the motor either.

You can easily run those mods with a stock ecu (at 10 psi or less), and certainly for a smog test (no boosting).

You can just put the stock ECU back in, or lean out the idle/cruising parts of the PFC to get even better emission results if you fail with the stock ECU. (you really shouldn't mess with it without a wideband though)
