Default Am I STAR Smog Ready? (in California stock+Invidia N1 Racing)

Ok so I am in need of a STAR smog in California within the next three months so I went back to stock and the only mod I have is a Invidia N1 Racing on my 06 hawkeye.

I got a Cobb AP3 and this is what it shows. Not really sure what Star Smog requires but here's what it shows on my accessport

Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Status-OFF
Number of DTCs present-0
Misfire-READY
Fuel System-READY
Comprehensive Component-READY
Catalyst-READY
Heated Catalyst-Not Applicable <<<<does this mean it's not ready?
Evaporative System-READY
Secondary Air System-READY
A/C System Refrigerant-Not Applicable
Oxygen Sensor-READY
Oxygen Sensor Heater-READY
Exhaust Gas Recirculating System-Not Applicable <<<<<does this also mean not ready?

I heard you should drive around a few miles before going to get a smog, is that the reason those are showing up as Not Applicable? Does that mean it's NOT READY? I only drove about 40 miles so far, and most of them are READY, I thought it was much longer than that

Not applicable means your car doesn't have that item/system, so it does not apply. Thus, no problem, ignore that line item.
You look good to go based on your list.

I think you're fine as long as the guy doesn't get hung up on visual.

Do you have any pending codes? They don't light up the CEL. Also don't clear it (if it's there) and go right after to get it smogged. The readiness gets reset and you have to do that all over again.
