yay-passed inspection- now what do these numbers mean?!

sorry, just had to share as I was biting my nails all day waiting for my PA inspection test result.

the results were:

CO 0.06 (limit 1.10)
HC 75 (limit 275)
NO 441 (limit 3600)
dilution 8.1%

anyone care to enlighten me on the meanings of these numbers and what they say (if anything much) about the car?

cheers

It means, simply put, your engine, emission controls & catalytic converter are working really well.
To simplify:
CO is directly related to fuel/air mixture, HC readings ( if high ) usually indicate ignition or oil-burning problems, NOX is directly related to the EGR ( exhaust gas recirculation ) valve on an engine.
As I said above, these are as close as I can come to translating your readings into layman's terms.
