ok so with 2006+ cam, intake, headers + cat (forget VTC for now)
the stock ecu wont allow for the gains on the cam? - the american guys say that it can
my question (now clarified) would be, would it be beneficial to upgrade to the 2006+ ECU as well as the cam?
Just to clarify you will need the 07-08 TSX ecu to run flashpro on any CL9 weather it is 03-08. I was runing 06-08 TSX intake cam and vtc mod plus J35 and RBC mani without Flashpro on stock ecu for 1 week and performance increase was minimal. Once i installed Flashpro and tune it was like night and day. My e-tuner estimates between 220-230 hp at the wheels. I will confirm this in the next week or so when i do power run on the dyno.
I will suggest anyone wanting to get Flashpro is to get a used ecu from any of the US junkyards on the net. They roughly go for $200-400 MT or $100-$200 AT. I got a used MT ecu for $300 shipped. I also got flashpro plus harness for $670, so shop around.
With regards to the upgraded 06-08 Tsx intake cam, my understanding is that its only found in usdm versions of the CL9.
thanks for the info - and the heads up on the cam
which VTC are you using? - theres been alot of animosity about the OEM 50deg VTC vs using a milled or toda 40-45deg VTC
