Is anyone using one of the MSD distributors driven by the cam for their LS1? Pictures, details or anything you can offer is much appreciated... Waterpump issues. Let me know, thanks in advance guys llooking to run this on a future setup.

 

from what i gather theres a few circle trackers using it. other than that i havent heard anythhing

 

whats the advantage of going to a distributer?? i would have thought the idavidual coild vould be much better!

thanks Chris.

 

Most people are using the front mount to run a carb type engine with no ecu. We also used one on high hp LS engines before BS3 came out. With a FAST system the engine would start to missfire above 900hp and 5500 rpm. With the Jesel front mount dist and FAST system we could run clean over 1500hp/8000 rpm.

Yeah it's a cool setup for carbing a LS1, especially with a digital e dristibutor.

Yeah... The setup we ran last year had a carb on it but ran the MSD box. Going to turbo this year and figured the less the better as far as electronics since we will have so much other stuff to worry about. Dont think that MSD box will be very boost friendly. Kurt any advice to offer I'm sure you guys have seen just about everything and every combination. What problems did you run into with it?

 

We ran a 4X crank trigger with EFI still. I have never worked with a turbo/carb deal, but I would think a standard MSD 6 or 7 box with a 4X crank trigger would supply all the spark needed.

Optispark!!

 

yikes...... those words should be a sin on ls1tech blackz...

 

Anyone have advice on the waterpump?

 

for this deal? I beleive there are spacers to mount it out farther, you can also do a spaced out belt too, but I'd just go electric.

Bret

 

Thanks Bret... We are already running an electric waterpump. SOmeone else threw up the idea of spacers. Sounds like thats what will have to happen.

 

thats what you have to do

 

Thanks Bret... will keep you guys posted on the progress.

 

My buddy uses a crank trigger. he is camrsz on this board. I'll ask him to step in this thread.
