You can try getting it tuned, but I'm not sure how far that will get you with that cam. It's probably a HOG0,HOG1,WAY1 or VEX1 computer, which are widely supported and able to be tuned.

As I mentioned, and others mentioned, fuel treatments such as dry-gas, denatured alcohol, or ethanol (E85) can often make a car failing HC emissions pass.
