can we start posting mods with camcon settings. that way if people have similar mods they can street tune the camcon to what people have found.

That's a good idea, if there are so many variables. Then state normal ambient temperature where u live and how tall you are above level sea. Maybe that will help a LOT!

I think a turbo tC would take a lot more effort to tune only using the CamCon. A LOT! Since a lot of the features of the e-manage would not be at your disposal.

Anymore updates from the guys that had problems? Did you guys splice and tap or use the boomslang harness.

I read the instructions on line and seems like there are a lot of variable that could cause problems i.e. bad ground, poor wiring, settings too far out of factory tolerances.

I really want one of these and just wanted some feedback on the specifics of installations and problems.

Since I have had it off no issues with cell or running wrong.
Here is one guy and there was another guy, but may have been in a different thread.

Oh Well. Seems If I go with the blue e-manage then I would be going thru a good path.

From reading the instructions and the troubleshooting guide, it sounds like the guy above my have had parameters set that were too far out from oem and was running erractic and throwing cel. I would rather get the camcom since, its cockpit adjustable.

I suggest profesional tuning. I'm not just saying it. People recommend it for a reason, and that is, because most of us don't understand engine physics and tuning rules. IMO u should save some more money and get a profesional tuning.

Tuning pays for itself. How much does a header cost? For how much whp? Like the Alphawerks header? $300+ for 9whp. What about $299+15+150= ~$450 for 12-18whp? They are about the same cots of hp per dollar.
