Need some HELP with a '94 Z28!!!

Ok, took it in for emissions test today and got back some really bad readings...not sure whats wrong. Anyone got any ideas?

(reading)/(allowed)

25/25 test
HC ppm = 1652/114
CO% = 1.11/0.63
NO ppm = 1795/796

50/15 test
HC ppm = 1184/117
CO% = 0.91/0.65
NO ppm = 1482/879


I have no idea and really need some help here, I got to get this thing on the road.

For starters, how about a COMPLETE ignition tune up from cap and rotor to plug wires and plugs. Then have the injectors professionally cleaned for example on the rails like I do with 3M injector cleaner. Then consider replacing the O2s and lastly, the cat converter.

If that doesn't do it, Ill come to Georgia and help LOL

I just did a full tune up on the car maybe 2 months ago (plugs, wires, new opti, new coil), although I am aware of the "reliability" of the opti so I am sure that could be the culprit. Gonna take a look at the O2 sensors. The funny thing is that even with the emissions missing that badly, I am not throwing any codes...

With all 3 tests that far over the limits, it sounds like the cat is deceased.
