Default New Owner of 90 in Cali! - Failed Smog :(

Hello,
I just picked up a 1990 ZR1!
Polo Green with around 78000 miles, saddle interior, and pretty much stock.
Originally California car but I got it from a gentleman in Iowa, had it shipped and received it this Monday.
Coming from BMW's, this is my first American car and a Corvette.
This car feels very special, fast, and comfortable. I can't believe how these things flew under my radar, I wish I knew about them much earlier.

And went to get smogged for the registration and that is where the fun stopped.
Attached is a copy of my report.

The smog guy, his opinion is that the car is in a really good running order and this is probably the best the car can do....He did tell me to run it hard on freeway for some miles and comeback and he will test again for free.

The car has new injectors, coil, and fuel filter
I think the car sat for a bit, could old gas result in poor test results?

How are you guys in California dealing with this awful test?
Any tips would be super appreciated.

Thank you!
