Default Superchips and Emissions inspection?

I'm due for a state inspection this month and I was wondering if I should switch bad to my stock tune prior to getting the truck inspected.

I almost forgot it doesn't take anytime to switch between tunings. It's so nice having the SC tuner.

I love my Superchips 3865 tuner too. It was well worth the money. I even like the Mileage XS setting. My milage went from 16.2 to 17.9, with the same kind of mixed driving.

I havent used the Mileage tune yet but I did notice an increase in fuel mpgs even on the Performance Tune as long as I am not flogging it... once I hit it a couple times it kills the mileage but man is it ever fun!
