Getting ready to emissions test in CT

Getting ready to emissions test in CT
Located in CT and need to get the vehicle emissions tested to register it. Fairly positive it'll need to pass a sniff test. I have the factory cat that will be going on as well as a full tune up.
Vehicle has a JDM motor as well as a PowerFC running as pig rich base map.
Anything else I should do in the meantime to guarantee passing? I've heard things of hooking up an electric air pump and plumbing it into the cat?
Also, anyone located in CT and knows 'performance friendly ' emissions test centers, let me know! Thanks.

if the car its pig rich its not going to pass emission trust me just make sure that you idle in the mid to low 13 and that you are running in mid to hi 14 in the low vac area also put a bottle of dry gas on the system if those help.

Ok, gonna get a tune scheduled for this week/weekend. I plan on driving the thing until next winter and then start the motor build up. This winter is the body work/wheels/etc.
I was reading through some old threads on here and heard a few folks used dry gas with some good results. Might give that a shot as well.

mazda found that the engine could not run lean enough without misfires to pass the EPA testing. so they added the air pump.
if you put a wideband on a STOCK car at idle, it will read between 16-18:1, and over 1100rpms it'll go into go into closed loop @14.7:1, which can be done without the air pump.
so if you have a dyno test, and the standards aren't too stringent, it might pass without the air pump

Cool, do you have any other mods done to your car? I know of a few FD's around CT, so I know you can get em to pass somehow.
I'm going to be doing a tune up on mine this weekend, throwing the cat back on and taking it to emissions next week. Might not even bother with the tune at first and see what happens with a few bottles of dry gas in the tank. If you find a decent place who is 'performance friendly' let me know.
