Yes, please. I've been critical of this thing since the beginning, and want to see how it does in the real world. If it's as good as you say, I may get one.

I think they do different things. Does the emange do cam adjustments? If it does then I guess the camcon is just a lesser version of the emanage.

The emanage does not do cam adjustments. It does have the ability to adjust the overall timing however. It does fuel, timing, anti stall, ect ect and the new emanage black even has features such as top speed eliminator and rev limit eliminator for cars with a fuel cut limiter.

VVTi is a cam angle adjustment and is continuously adjusted. VTEC (at least the forms that I am familiar with) switches between one set of cam lobes and another, so it is more binary in nature. I have not used emanage so I cant say for sure, but it may not be set up for the continuously variable timing setup.

I believe it adjusts overall ignition timing but not valve timing correct?

Two very different systems. When VTEC engages at a preset RPM the valve rockers begin to follow a higher profile cam lobe, but VVT-i does a continuous change to the cam angle (only on the intake side for the 2AZ). i-VTEC and VVTL-i would be closer in comparison, but even still the Emanage can't adjust the cam phasing part of the i-VTEC system, just the high profile cam cross-over point. The CamCon can adjust the cam crossover point for Honda's, but not for VVTL-i equipped Toyota's. It can adjust the cam phasing for VVT-i and VVTL-i, but not for i-VTEC. Strange, yes, but that's the way it works.

Edit

Engifineer beat me to it.

well the camcon adjust the timing but doesn't control the vvt-i the air and fuel its adjusted there is no word on how to said it but the overall is that is great y have it and I will recomended a friend of mine has a apexi safc2 and there was no difference I still haven't gone to the dyno but I will be going soon so I can tune It . let me tell you that you have to tune the complete power from 500rpm to 7500rpm or your car will not work propertly
