I wonder if it's less reserved tuning, thats not a difficult number to hit with a tune. Some with the Edge alone are reporting smog trouble. That said, is there any settings I can change on my xcal2 to reduce emissions when the time comes?

Don't worry ladies, they aren't getting anymore HP than the trucks bound for the states. Those are "GROSS HP" figures. In the states we use the industry observed "S.A.E. net" standard.
That's it. So pick up your hankies and dry your eyes now.

Could be different measures as stated above but also Im sure their emissions are different and also I have been told they have higher grades of gas ie. 93 octane is standard for them like 87 is for us.

Nope. GROSS vs. SAE net. That's it. These trucks are no different than the states side trucks. Same safety glass, ECM program and all.... Remember, speculation and guesses are about as concrete as styrofoam.
