So I had Marc Haibeck lower the EGR activation point to 13 mph and easily passed NOX by 150 ppm.
Hydrocarbons should not be a problem provided the engine is in good tune and the cats are working properly.

No road test in Oregon. You simply pull into a bay, let it idle and they do a sniffer in the tail pipe. My guess is since it passed in California recently, it will pass in either mode in Oregon.

I spoke with the previous owner and he said he did it in valet mode in California so I will do the same here. I'm gonna try and go today once the car is delivered.
