Here are my numbers:
25/25 Test:
Test Allowable
HC ppm: 168 136
CO%: 0.84 0.76
NO ppm: 2929 984
50/15 Test:
Test Allowable
HC ppm: 188 141
CO%: 0.87 0.79
NO ppm: 3156 1088
I went out to the car and started it. Let it warm up for five minutes. Drove to the freeway went down bout 5 miles then back 5 miles and directly to the test site. Im in GA. I figure its my 02 sensor. I think the car is running rich. It was having idle problems for a while and the inside of the head right before the headers had a bunch of carbon buildup. Compression is good but engine does use some oil (leaky cam seal).
I plan to do a full tune up check the timing and add some cleaning additives. Get a new O2 sensor. About the cat, can I test to see if its good? A new one installed gonna be 170.

You're not throwing any codes? How's your timing? Do you even HAVE a cat? 
Sounds like you're running a test pipe.
