I was thinking I might look
into how to do it myself...
Bruce Plecan accomplished the COP conversion
several years before his death, and was constantly busy
advancing GM's initial concept very intensely to ever higher levels.
It's safe to say very few molecules of energy escaped
Bruce Plecan's combustion chambers w/o igniting fully.
Just take the time to find, read & research Bruce
Plecan's amazingly frequent & highly informative posts
on the Buick, DIY-EFI & the EFI-sections of several GM-related
(e.g. F-body, LT-1 & etcetera) messageboards. Bruce Plecan
achieved several advanced stages of COP (beyond simply
adapting a GM LS-style COP to an LC2) & much much more.
Unlike the "data-hoarders", "proprietary-info poseurs"
and the hordes of "stooges with secrets", Bruce Plecan
lived & breathed to stretch the LC2 development envelope,
and shared all his data-rich research & testing results
with equal vigor, determination and generosity with everyone.
Sorry this is taking longer than anticipated.:frown:
We have been extremely busy with customer's car that are major projects that pay the bills.
We are now doing a complete wiring and XFI install on a low 8 sec. back-half GN that is going to have a COP installed. Along with this is a T-5 turbo so it will be at least a month before it is even running.
Almost a year and nothing new to report, sad that this project has withered on the vine...
After blowing 2 expensive engines, one at the track, other on the dyno, we went with only distributors.
The "word" from the person doing this was after checking with the tech people at FAST is that it will not "support" COP on a V-6. Apparently, there is some issue at higher RPM?
Since I am not a "tuner", I rely on those that are supposed to be for this type of work.
The Motec does work with COP, and I "heard" that Big Stuff III will also, but do not know anyone running it.

Problem is sprak scatter and the way all these systems, XFI, Gen 7 BS3, update cam sync every 720* and only use a 3 pulse crank trigger. These system are not true crank tooth counters and will have HUGH issues with spark scatter running COP.
The BS3 is the only system that will support a 58x crank trigger (LS2 style) which GREATLY minimizes the problem but it still only updates cam sync every 720*. Motec and Electromotive are the only systems, I am aware of currently, that the will run a 58x, or 60-2, crank trigger and are true crank tooth counters updating/sync timing every 360*. I am also told the new Accel ICM ignition box will run this crank trigger setup and updates every 360* but I haven't looked into it yet. Anyone who comes up with something that'll support a 58x crank trigger and updates timing every 360* let me know I am interested.

does the newer type 2 fast start systems update faster? i know that they have a 3X and a 18X crank ring and sensor.
I believe that the ignition module processes all the info from the cam/crank sensor then buffers the signals and then they get sent to the ecm.
gotta another question. How does one gain more power with a dist. I thought that by the spark jumping it creates a loss in energy. or does it create a loger dwell time on the coil?
