Question Authority Chips and Emissions

Pulled DME and found authority chips.

I have been reading archives and am wondering if these chips are causing my car to run rich and fail our emissions test. Should i swith to another brand of chip or can this rich problem be corrected by my mechanic?

AUTOthority. And yeah, I've heard that these chips run pretty rich. Switch to Guru!

Although I no longer run Autothority chips, I did use them for a long time and always passed my emissions test with them.

I passed my emissions test with flying colors two months ago. Autothority.
