Craig, thank you for the response. That is what I was thinking as well. I'm curious to know if the LS1 coils have a built-in dwell circuit, or if they rely on the ECM trigger signal for total coil on-time? Also, is the pinout for the 30-5001 eDist box different from the 30-5000 box...

Craig, I called FAST this morning again to aske a couple of questions. I left a messgae on Mike's voicemail, Maybe you can help. Am I correct in assuming I need to send my FAST SEFI box back to you to have it converted for a hall-effect cam synch signal? I am currently using a modifoed...

Well, if anyone is interested, the pin outs for the MSD 8514 cam synch distributor plug is: A = Not Used B = Ground C = Hall-Effect 5v input(+) D = Hall-Effect Signal (-) Now I guess I just need to send my FAST SEFI box back to FAST to have them convert it for a hall-effect cam synch...

I recieved my Edist (30-5001) LS1 direct fit today, along with the MSD distributor plug w/ cam synch. I should get the LS1 coils early next week. I am using a FAST SEFI also. The MSD distributor plug uses a hall-effect cam synch, and the Metricpak connector on it has 4 pins, while the...

I've had some other people mention the Vortec "distributor plug" to me, I'd definitely be interested in seeing what you've got. I guess I'm ignorant to the fact as to whether the cam synch is Hall effect or not. My current setup uses an MSD flying crank trigger, and an MSD Pro-Billet...

I just ordered 8 LS1 coils, part number 12558948. Their list price is $37.33 each. Is this about what everyone else is paying? Do I need to order anything else from Chevy to do this? I have a eDist 30-5001 LS1 Direct Fit on order. Do I need any special connectors? Spark Plug wires...

Thanks for the responses. Thanks Craig for clarifying that, yes, I want to run the eDist/LS1 coils on my SBC 427 TT. I'm currently using an MSD Digital 6+ with a MSD HVC coil, I'd think/hope the individual coils would be as capable since they would have much longer to saturate compared to the...

Thanks for the responses. I finally got through to someone in FAST tech support today, and they seemed to indicate that the LS1 Direct Fit (30-5001)unit was the only one I could use if I wanted to use the LS1 coils. He said if I got the Universal Fit unit (30-5000), I would also need to...

I would like to use the LS1 coil on plug arrangement, so that I can eliminate the need for an MSD box. Do I need the Universal eDist, or the LS1 direct fit?

I read through all the eDist posts I could find, but I still have a couple of questions. Most of the posts seemed to be for LT1/45 or LS1/6 engines. I am running a FAST SEFI, WB, ICC box. Since I would be eliminating the distributor, and hence my cam signal, I know I need a source for the...

Craig, Will the new FAST system require a 100% replacement of an existing FAST system? I have been told that I will be able to reuse my existing harness and the new FAST box will have a 3rd plug, plus the additional harness, to accomodate the additional funtionality of the new system and I...

I agree that it would be nice if PTE was a little more forthright with hard data on their turbos. I was able to break their turbo's down and find the compressor maps and figure out what the ratios were, but they don't aways make it easy. However, I have had good results with their HP...

I don't have a Turbo Buick, but I follow all PT-51/52 threads here since I run 2 PT-52's and was alarmed to hear of the alleged failures to the PT-51/52 turbine wheels. I have a SBC 427 using two PT-52's that made 1189hp and 998ft lbs on 93 octane at 18 psi of boost. Admittedly, I've only...

I recently completed the construction and dyno testing of a Twin Turbo SBC 427 using two Precision PT-52's. I ended up making about 1200hp and 1000 ft lbs on pump gas with around 18psi of boost on a mild tune of only 23.5 degrees and a 11.8 A/F ratio. I asked the guys at Precision about the...

The measurement is .500" from the long side of the skirt, which is 90 degrees (perpendicular) to the pin.
