Bill,
That probably has a lot to do with that high lift cam that doesn't like
to idle below about 2000 rpm! :)

Andy,
I found that every time I went for a smog test, here
in Los Angeles, that the car would run like crap when
it was set up to pass. This was on a newly rebuilt
engine with everything set to specs. I always richened
the mixture and advanced the timing to get it to run
OK after the test. If you remove the air pump and air
rail it will run great and not backfire. I would leave
the catalytic converter on because it didn't seem to
create any drivability problems.
Bill
