Question E.C.U Upgrade

O.K the next question is does the upgrade really work considering the Camry processor is embeded and another unit is required to take over the functions of the factory unit.
Where is the best place to get one and the best place to get performance spark plug wires
CheersE.C.U Upgade

what do you have on your car that would warrant an upgrade?

You means it`s not worth doing

For it`s own sake. I have a K+N pod filter and 2+half inch mandrel bent exhaust no cat with wraped headers High flow Muffler. [iridium plugs] so need good leads.
The other thing I`m thinking of is a high output fuel pump now that I`m getting more air/ and getting rid of the waste quicker.

Venom 400 is a piece of sh*t.

All it does is trick your ecu into thinking the tps (throttle position sensor) is open more then it really is.

Sparkplug wires don't make a difference unless the ones you have are so worn out that their not doing their job.

You don't need a high output fuel pump with the mods you have.

Get one if you want, but all its gunna do is dump that fuel right back into the tank.

what he said.....cuz it's not called putting in more air until you get boost...what you've got would only put a 3-4hp on a dyno if even that....you'll just end up running rich and wasting gas if anything...

It is good to get advice

from people that are not going to make money out of you. Thanks for the input.
Am I only getting 3-4 hp if that from the filter and headers etc because it seems to have made a big difference It can actually keep up with a 2.2 Honda Prelude now.
