I have, worked at an auto parts store for 3 years, dont put rubbing alcohol in your car, go buy the alcohol that you add to your gas tank to keep your lines from freezing in the winter, b/c alcohol burns cleaner then gas it will help some

Retard your timing as much as possible, induce a few VERY slight exhaust leaks by loosening the clamps, run the alcohol that Starz recommended, and make sure the car is as hot as safely possible.
This is the formula with which you would most likely pass. Is it good for the car? HELL NO! If you blow it up will I claim responsibility...HELL NO! Would I recommend just tipping them instead of jacking with your setup...

Thats what I figured. I didnt think it would be good on the injectors or any other part of the motor for than matter. I was just asking because the crooked smogman has become few and far between

If you loosen your exhaust then you will fail for an exhuast leak, Its happened to me, but with the heet its meant to be run through your fuel lines, just dont run too much put like 1-2 bottles in with a full tank and you should be good

Yeah just stick another two or three on the back over there, hell go with a six pack!!!
Damn you bastards. Do you know what it is like trying to pass inspections in Austin Texas?
"Hey can I slip you a ten to pass me?"
"No but you can give me that ten to stop me from having my manager call the cops on you for bribery."
