I don't use it much except for testing. I don't want to make it part of my overall system until I can verify emissions compliance.

Bingo. Unless you guys are concerned only with your wallet, these lean burn systems aren't good in a holistic sense. (As explained in the post below this one)

Without running rich, your cat can't reduce NOx so not only do you emit more NOx, but the cat heats up and can become brittle and crumble from only oxidizing HC/CO which produces heat.
