Thanks guy. That was my problem last year with the crank. I couldnt get a good signal from the sensor but it ran most of the time. I dunno i just got rid of all the problems. Fired it last night I have to tell you going from 11.7 comp to 12.5 sounds GREAT!! My goal of 5.70 should be no problem.

the problem isnt really with the box, its with callies.
their crank wheel i hear is/isnt a gm unit.
could be the actual installation of the wheel as well.
the msd box doesnt have the ability to do a crank relearn like a stock PCM.
if the wheel isnt within the msd boxes tolerances.... then it will run on some clylinders, or ive seen one not crank at all.
