Default Help with Camcon settings!!!

I am getting my camcon today. I can't get dyno time for three weeks !! So if there is anyone with a N.A. xa/xb could you please share your settings until I get to the dyno to fine tune. I am looking for a good starting place for now.

You could save yourself the time of the dyno and do it yourself if you get a wideband o2 gauge. You can hook the camcon up and just leave it off till you hit the dyno if you dont wanna do it yourself. I personally think that the camcon is junk(I have it and am definitely not impressed). My settings wont help cause Im turbo'd.

I am going to hook it up today, I really didn't want to wait. The shop that does some of my work has a wideband though. I didn't think of that. I might see a better gain from it being a N.A. engine. At least I hope. Got to go Fed Ex just dropped it off.

Thanks

I strongly recommend that you do not adjust the camcon until you can have it tuned on a dyno. Similar engines and modifications will not help you, altitude, dew point, temperature are more significant factors than just a CAI or a header.

Hook it up and turn it on but I would leave all the settings at zero until your ready. That is like baking a cake today and saying don’t eat it until tomorrow, good luck on the restraint factor.

you logic is wrong...

keep it turned off if you want 0 adjustments.
don't turn it on and leave the settings at 0.

become familar with the ECU fuse/reset.

lets you adjust a/f ratio and vvti advance by intercepting signals to and from the ecu.

That is because the check engine light will come on all the time. I know this now and it has only been one day. But the settings for the stock 1nz really improved my top end. I couldn't wait . I will have a turbo on the car by next week or so. Then i can take it to the dyno. There is something kinda wrong with having so much time that I can put on a turbo while I am waiting for a dyno appointment. Gonna have to bump the NOS back down to a 35 shot with the turbo.

I never threw one from the Camcon, the only thing I experienced w/ it is that sometimes as the RPM's went up on the unit, the number 3 would get distorted. What was weird is that it only did it when the car was running. If I just was to go through the settings while the car was off, as I would scroll up to the number 3 it would be fine. What was really buggin me out was that sometimes thats where my car would bog down in the 3000-3900 RPM range. I know it wasnt a connection cause everything was soldered and I checked everything just to make sure. I tried contacting P.E. about it but was never able to leave them an email cause there mailbox was full and I just didnt feel like sitting on hold on a phone for an hour just to get the runaround.
