Lowering nox/exaust smell from cam overlap

I really am thinking that injector timing adjustment is what I really need. If i give the motor the mixture it wants to run the best the exhaust smells strongly of raw fuel, but if i lean it out to get rid of the fuel smell the exhaust still stinks, just differently.
There appears to be no happy medium.
If i could delay the injector firing I could prevent some of the raw fuel dumping out the exhaust during overlap, and not have the fumes from being overly lean
so..
There's a parameter that I can adjust called "injector offset adder", it's description says "For low injector pulses, an offset in microseconds can be applied to further fine tune fueling."
I was thinking that this might be what I need to adjust, but I was really unsure about what to do with the numbers and if it was even the correct parameter. What I really need is access to the EOIT that ChopperDoc was referencing, but I could find nothing like it in my parameters list in tunerpro. I figured it just didn't exist or hadn't been found yet for the OBD1 pcm.
I'm browsing through the gearheadEfi forum this morning, and low and behold, there's a discussion about cam overlap and EOIT in the lt1 OBD1 pcm. Apparently there is an "End of injection target location vs coolant temp" parameter. I just had to load a different definition file to access it.
so I am going to crunch some numbers and do some experimentation with the setting. If i get anywhere with it, I'll update this with the relevant information.
it's crazy that there is still active work on the tuning options in the obd1 pcm.

If there is a place around that'll actually smog test the car, I'd advise you to do it. Smog tests are actually a great tool to assess the overall running condition of the car. The results will help point you in the direction of what's wrong and where.

I know it's present in LS1 setups as Banish refers to it in order to try and get bigger duration cams to run better.

I think what you are referring to is "End of Injector Timing". I could be wrong, but I don't think that adjustment is not present in JetDST. That's why I asked for the table.
