Hydrocarbon way too high
I tried to go through inspection today and failed hiserably. HC limit is 220 mine maxed the machine out at 4200+, the guy laughed at me. I put cats on it before i went down there and it doesn't look like that helped my HC. What can i do to lower HC? the car is cammed and has been tuned.

Hydrocarbons are unburnt fuel. Check your o2s, spark plugs etc. Are your exhaust tips black? Soot all over the back of the car?
Are you getting a lot of blow-by through your PCV now that you have an agressive cam? This could throw the O2 off.
