Back end flash, MOT

Will a backend flash make any difference during an MOT?

I imagine that the BMS Race Flash only makes a difference at the top end and during idle the car will function as normal.

What are people's thoughts?

I think flashing back to stock will only take 2 mins anyway, so I think that is what I'm going to do.

Will make no odds whatsoever.
What is it you are worried about?

Emissions...
But it shouldn't run any richer until high loads, I'd think.

So long as you've got cats present it will be fine.

Any decent tune will run the engine at Lambda 1 at idle and low/part load and will have no effect on the factory emissions at all.
