RIPP Supercharger, Headers, and P0344 Camshaft Position Sensor DTC
So I put the RIPP headers and supercharger on my '08 JK, and loaded the RIPP SC and Headers tune on my ride. Now when ever I get on the freeway out of my place going uphill and accelerating, and after then coming back down the hill, all of a sudden the check engine light and ESP light goes on.
Pulled over, checked the code and get the P0344 "Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Intermittent" code. Reset the code and then get back on the highway and the check engine light and ESP light comes back on. I reload the tune and all seems good for a bit until I go back up and down that same hill, though it doesn't happen anywhere else.
Loaded the RIPP SC tune only, and it seems like all is good. Anyone else have this problem with the RIPP SC and header tune? Since it doesn't happen with the SC tune only, I'm wondering if it's a sensor problem, wires arcing, or connection issue, or maybe just a PCM tune issue on the header/sc tune?
I want the maximum tune capability, so just doing some troubleshooting to see how I can get the best tune (i.e. sc/header), versus just using the SC tune.

Solved?
Was this issue ever solved? I am having a very similar problem. Ripp SC (no headers) with latest SC only tune. P0344 is thrown repeatedly in situations with the most resistance (a combination of headwind, uphill, accelerating in a lower gear, towing/loaded down). Yet I can drive without code all day with no load/trailer, flat ground, no headwind. I bought the RIPP SC specifically to help with towing so this is really frustrating.
