I didn't use a wiring harness, I just used spliced into the ECU harness. Should come with a wiring diagram

Yeah the map on their website is for a stock car. They recommend tuning on a dyno with a wide band if you have upgrades on the car.

I just ordered the cam-con from Central Florida Turbo. They are going to install and tune. The total cost will be around 800$ installed and tuned (it depends on how much tuning work they have to do).

I'll post the dyno charts when I have them.

From what I've read here it seems like the mods I run make my car a worthy candidate for the cam-con.

- TRD S/C (stock pulley 7psi)
- Injen CAI (modded)
- Magnaflow catback exhaust.

The tech. at CFT anticipates decent gains, but I've never had the car ran on a dyno so I wouldn't know. I might ask them to dyno it once as is before they tune it. I know the car slows at high rpms (either rich or lean), and it just doesn't run the way it should. I'm hoping this will help.

I read that the tune goes back to stock settings after a couple hundred miles, has that happen to anyone yet? also you only see mid-range power gain no top end, or were the previous things I read in other forums not correct. If you search there was a guy that had posted settings that he used for it and got the most power out of it. Install yourself and use those settings.

Those settings are on page 3 of this post, but I'm not going to use them. Running other peoples settings is a good way to lean out and blow an engine. Unless you have a wide-band a/f ratio gauge and a dyno I wouldn't tune this thing. Why risk your engine just to save a few bucks? I'm pretty good with wiring so I'll save a little and install myself, but after that I'll let the shop work their magic with the dyno.

Still waiting on the unit to get here thou...........
