It seems like on the east coast NOX is the main one that affects our MD folks.

We don't have anything in my small town, so I'm happy for that

As for raising the timing, thats true, DC Scotty dropped his timing to like 13* and he was able to pass MD emissions

^^I agree with that statement... But also added reinstalled the AIV for more air in the exhaust stream (hotter cat).
And NOX is the B13 killer for MD emissions.

I also agree with the above recommendation to raise the octane level is by adding 93 octane fuel to the tank.
Drive it til almost empty and then fillup with all 93 octane.

Keep in mind that most octane boosters have Manganese in it which is very corrosive. It will put a rust color on your spark plug tips and shorten the lifespan of the spark plugs.

YOu said that 87 was ok for a ve. Maybe you worded your sentence wrong and it sounds liek your saying its ok for everyday. 87 is way too low for 10:1 compression or higher.
