Darn CEL's

Seems like some are getting a tune and some are just driving it with the CEL. Now comes the question.

I can live with the CEL until I get all my mods on and get it tuned, but the emissions station will fail me in the mean time.

Is it possible to get a code reader and clear the codes right before going into emissions so that the CEL isn't on? Do you think it will stay off long enough to pass?

What is everyone's thoughts on this and experiences?
I drove until the CEL's stayed lit permanently then got a tune that fixed. The tune either disabled the rear sensors or the tune changed the timing of the smapling rate or something..... Anyway the tune worked!
