I wish I would have got the camp 2 when I was building my car instead of after.

Here is my AFK, turbo timer and EVC. My Navigator is where the ashtray used to be. (I forgot to take a picture of it). I spliced the cable as shown in the drawing below so that I can move it to the lower left portion of the windshield when I am on the track at HPDS.





The RJ-11 Connectors and Cable are standard telephone connectors and cable. It is working great.

*** NOTE *** DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CRIMP THE RJ-11 CONNECTORS ONTO THE CABLE WHEN THE CABLE IS PLUGGED INTO THE F-CON!!!

One of my connectors was not fully crimped, so I went back and re-crimped it, but forgot to unplug it from the F-CON. The RJ-11 crimper has a single metal bar that crimps all of the pins simultaneously, and it caught my F-CON V Pro on fire. (The internal ribbon cable is insulated with paper ).

Japtrix and Garret at HKS were really cool. They gave me a new F-CON V Pro at a deep discount (I think at cost). Nonetheless, the damage does not look to bad and I may be able to fix the old one and use it as a backup, or for my next project.

After I fried my F-CON, John was really cool and let me borrow his so that I could make Homestead the next day. That night turned out to be a string of bad luck, however. We re-set his jumpers per the manual to configure his F-CON to work in my VQ-35DE, and uploaded my F-CON files. WOT shifting worked great with my F-CON, but when I tried it with John's, the rev limiter never kicked in and I pegged my tach. Now my car is back at Japtrix with a ticking sound. Hopefully it is only the valve train, but we don't know yet. Roger is going to try to get the motor out this week to look at it. I guess I was not meant to make it to Homestead.

For now on, I am going to fully test everything with baby steps before just going out there and hammering it hard.

On a good note, we got 609 hp and over 600 ft-lb of torque (actual measurements) on the dyno with 93 octane (this was before I tried my WOT shifting stunt). The temperature was somewhere in the mid-70's. With weather correction, my hp was 603 hp. The boost was 17 1/2 psi.

Last time my hp was in the 550's at 13 1/2 psi, but it was hot and it weather corrected up to 584 hp. It may seem like I did not get much for the extra 4 psi of boost, but since it was hot last time (and hence there was less air/fuel going into the combustion chambers), we were able to run more advanced timing. With the cooler weather (and thus more air/fuel going into the motor), we had to pull the timing back to keep it from pinging on 93 octane.

Within the next couple of weeks I'm going to look into recessing the AFK, EVC and TURBO TIMER displays into the dash.

I had to do a little bit of filing on the bottom side of the ashtray opening to get mine to fit, but it looks pretty much the same as Pharm_Ds.
