I went to a test only station and the hydrocarbons were too high. My mods are stock block and heads gt40 tubular bbk throttle body and spacer 24lb injectors aeromotive fpr bbk equals and h pipe with 2 cats msd 6al and msd dist with coil and last is a Paxton 1220sl with a 255 walbro fuel pump. Any ideas would be appreciated on how to bring them down. Most of the parts have OE carb # and I have 2 cats. Trying to do it legit.

+1 on the fuel pressure. disconnect the vacuum line to the fpr and adjust to 38-39 psi at idle then reconnect vacuum line. also make sure ignition system is good may not be complete combustion.
