How do i lower my nox emissions can i use rubbing alcohol 98percent to help it pass does the combustion temp need to be cooler or hotter all ignition and o2 good timing is 1 deg lower than factory?

I would set the timing back to factory setting. I've heard you can run race gas '100 octane'- just make sure its unleaded race gas 110 octane is usually leaded which would plug your cat. I've heard from other posts this lowers NOx test numbers quite a bit- make sure to run your car for a while before hand to ensure the EGR has opened bypassing the exhaust gases. Just my 2 cents, good luck!

What conditions are necessary for combustion?
There are some conditions associated with the process of combustion. The substance to be burnt must be combustible (the substance must catch fire easily). Wood, paper, coal, coke, hydrogen, liquified petroleum gas, natural gas, petrol, kerosene, diesel, alcohol, ether etc. are some of the combustible substances. The presence of a supporter of combustion is another condition for combustion to take place. They are nothing but the substances which help combustion of a combustible substance. Oxygen and air are the supporter of combustion. Air contains 21% of oxygen (a supporter of combustion) by volume and 78% of nitrogen by volume which is neither combustible nor a supporter of combustion. That is why combustible substances burn at moderate rate in air but burn at a very fast rate in oxygen. Another condition for combustion to take place is that the combustible substance should be heated so that its temperature reaches its ignition temperature. No substance can burn below its ignition temperature. The substances having low ignition temperature are called inflammable substances. The vapors of these substances in air can catch fire with a minor spark and hence can cause serious accident. Alcohol, ether, carbon disulphide, benzene synthetic fibres are some of the substances having low ignition temperature. If the ignition temperature is below the room temperature the substance can catch fire even without an external source of heat energy.
What is the heat of combustion of cetyl alcohol?

What is the reaction between alcohol and fire called?
Combustion -- but the reaction is between alcohol and oxygen -- fire is the process or the reaction itself.
What is power alcohol?
when ethanol is used as an additive to motor fuels to act as a fuel for internal combustion of engines, its called "power alcohol"
What is 2C3H8O plus 9O2 equals 6CO2 plus 8H2O?
The combustion of isopropyl alcohol.
What type of flame would have for the combustion of amyl alcohol have?
Cool flame, yellow & orange
How can alcohol be used as a fuel?
Optical activity has no affect on the combustion of a material; therefore, there is no reason an optically active alcohol could not be used as a fuel.
Can a car run on soju?
soju only has 20% alcohol content. in this state, combustion will not occur. therefore if the alcohol content is increased to 50%, then maybe.
What does gasohol mean?
a mixture of gasoline and ethyl alcohol used as fuel in internal combustion engines.
How can you pass an ignition interlock device with alcohol in your system?
balloons of clean breath
Why someone might use alcohol?
Examples are; As a fuel for an internal combustion engine. As a disinfectant. To accelerate a fire.
