Can't help you on that one. What are you flashing it back from? What mods? My gut reaction is that it would always be better to have it stock for the smog test. When we get Smog II it is probabably going to be even harder. I have a friend who is having a hard time passing Smog II with just headers.

No need. I smogged my old coupe before I sold it and it passed with flying colors. It was reprogrammed with a Powerloader.

If you still have your stock CATS you shouldn't have any problem. I'm not quite sure what you are saying regarding to FLASH BACK. I can only assumed that you're talking about HPIII. Just leave the program on if thats what you mean.
