edelbrock ls1 carb kit question ???
edelbrock ls1 carb kit question ??? on hold 3 different times today with edelbrock, only to be disconnected everytime after 30 minute wait!
everyone ive talked to says edelbrock tech support is impossible to get in touch with.
jegs didnt know. same with summit and even the guy at MSD that designed the box "didnt know" cause he hadnt messed with it in a while. which we all know is BS.
the edelbrock box has a tach output, is it the conventional V8 signal or is it still the 4cly LS1 style signal?
i dont see anywhere noted that this box has a revlimiter, how ghey is that?
i might just look into efi, i dunno.

I haven't heard about the tach signal but they(edelbrock) claim it works well in non-ls1 vehicles so it's probably a conventional signal. I've read in two different sources that the edelbrock MSD box has either 3 timing pills or 6. I wonder which it is? The box that MSD sells seperate looks better but there still isn't much info on this either.
Has anyone on here used this setup?

i think im gonna get the kit to get me by. im about to toss a cam in this 6.0 and then its gonna go in the car. it wont cam sitting on the stand.
I'm rebuilding my 6.0 with a cam and more compression so I need the carb for break-in since I don't know how to computer tune(yet) and also because I'm on a budget.
What cam are you going with. I'm going to try a 228/232 .600/.600 . I just don't know if the timing pills will work with thids cam...what cams are the pills designed for?

as for the edeljunk box, it sucks they dont have a rev limiter on it, but being an A3 car i shouldnt have too much trouble, ill just have to be careful on the bottle.
timing pills? i havent a clue. #6 pill reads "z06 cam or larger, high overlap, light car, tall gear, converter reccommended" i think.
im going to play with some msd timing pills on the dyno and see if they are compatible with the box.
it will be a few weeks, maybe ill post up with some good #'s

For what its worth... When i was looking into the carb route, the edelbrock set up had a cam that was supposed to be matched to the set up that spec'd at 230 237 with 540 ish lift on a 112 or 110 LSA. So i would assume you cam would work with it.

should work with the majority of the LS series motor. LMK if you are interested.
