Cam sensor failure only happens on the 4 pots.....yet to see one on the V6 (although I have seen some heavy handed people damage them!)

Its actualy the wiring and connector that were modified.....hence why it comes with an extra bit of loom.

Cam sensor failures are unheard of on v6 models.  However, 4 pot owners will suffer one at some point.

The modification is the wiring to stops spikes - the sensor is still equally prone to failure.
