Just wanted to let you know your theory about the gas milage was wrong. Like I said before I did need a colder plug. My gas milage is better 25-26 mpg city / 31mpg hwy. Some people won't need this but with everything I have already done I did!

I have mine turned off right now. I disconnected my battery and made the ecu relearn my engine. I wanted to get tuned with the cam-con but still haven't done it. I probally will after I get my taxes back b/c I want to get the intake manifold then tune.

unless your car has a bad factory ground, a grounding kit is a waste. if it were that easy, toyota would have put them in the tC from the factory.. think about it... how cheap could they build "grounding kits." so why wouldnt they? exactly. it's 99 percent gimmick

maybe it is true... but all i got out of this was "if you read the people's websites who are trying to sell you a product..."
