What does this Valcon unit do?

Allows you to control your mivec from the driver's seat. You can change the amount of intake advance or exhaust retard, etc.

The results look very promising. I would like to see third party testing. That is a very nice increase in power and at 830 retail I can imagine it will be considerably cheaper through a vendor.

No wonder nobody wants those cams, that's a silly feature with so many tuning solutions available.
HKS led the charge with affordable and available Evo VIII cams. I wish they had a better offering for the X. As it stands now, I'm staying stock until something is better than what is currently out there.

I agree that the stock turbo is a huge bottleneck, definitely needs to be attacked, but I also agree with Clark Kent and am not super jazzed about the offerings out there now. I had a external gate 3071R kit on my VIII, I think a 3076R kit for the X with mild cams, springs, and an actual retainer kit would be fun. 8200rpm and a good flowing turbo should make the car get up and move.

Actually HKS offers the cams without the Valcon, at least in Japan.
