John,
If you are referring to FAST's crank relay interface that will work with the factory crank sensor... It's somewhere in between beta and mass production. They have a few working ones.
I am waiting for one too and hope to have one of the first ones out since my car already has a working FAST system on it.
I will ask them tomorrow for a revised ETA.

I talked to Craig @ FAST just now, and it sounds like the FAST Crank Signal Decoder will be available around April 1st. It sounds like it's relatively compact and can be mounted low near the crank sensor or you can run longer wire and mount it elsewhere. Since the factory crank sensor has three wires, the Decoder will be the same.

The crank trigger is for the ecu to be able to control ignition timing.
The cam sensor is for the edist (or a sequential Fast ECU) to know which cylinder to fire when.
Good luck!

I know I could run an MSD crank trigger, but based on the problems folks in the LS1 world have had running one I am not interested. Did you say in your PM to me that someone you know is having problems? I confused by your PM since it seems opposite to what you are suggesting in this post... please explain I am confused.
Folks put the crank triggers, or I should say, mount, the crank triggers off of the front of the oil pan. They had a ring to the dampener.
By the time my 10 pt is done, and my paintwork, I'll have the crank decoder and will use that.

There's actually a huge problem with running a crank trigger on an LS1 most people don't know about. Thus the reason I guess they're having the problems you mentioned...

? I talk to FAST every other week Todd.
The FAST needs a 4x crank input, an the stock LS1 signal is not 4X.
Crank trigger is okay for a race car but the FAST crank box will be $100 and that's a lot cheaper than a $600 (with labor) crank trigger setup. Plus I have nobody locally who could have trued the stuff up for me.
