distributor with ls1!!!!! anyone? it's been a while since i've been on but i've been looking into a turbo ls1 set up for a long time but lookin for a cheap but efficient way to build the set up and make the power. Gm performance has a distributor conversion kit for ls1's which would also acompany a carbuurator. I'm lookin to see if any has pics of there motors with this set-up as well as, if anyone's views on wether this combo is worth it or not. I'd like to go blow through turbo set-up with this combo but have only seen this set-up once in real life and the car i've seen it on was on motor at the time! Here is an article through gm on the kit! Thyanks Again!!

Alot of the turbo guys are running a belt driven distributor, but they're not running a blow thru carb setup like you are talking about.
Chris Urchako (sorry chris if the spelling is wrong!) is the only person I know of running a blow thru carb setup on an lsx. He's a sponsor on yellowbullet.com, you may want to get ahold of him I am sure he can give you better feedback then you're gonna get on here about what you want to do.

Actually, a Digital 7 would be a WAY better option then a 6010 box. And it could easily be done, just need to put the flying magnet trigger on the front of the motor, then you can run anything you want.

If the guy wants to run the distributor, then it will work with no problems, with the distributor it's gonna have a single coil anyway.
I know that you can run a flying magnet with a BS3 system, and the digital 7 BS3 are designed by the same guy and alot of the same type of stuff works.
With a carb, and a distributor a digital 7 is probably the best way to go. If you want to stock with fuel injection and coil on plug, then I would run a BS3.
I think you can run a BS3 without the fueling and with a distributor too, but if the car's gonna have a carb I'd go the digital 7 route because it will proabbly be cheaper at that point.

Maybe it wouldn't be cheaper, but with a flying magnet, you can run any ignition system you want you aren't limited to systems that will pick up the stock crank trigger.
I know that MSD makes a converter box, but I heard that is a nightmare.
All of this stuff that I'm talking about is for setups that are gonna make 1000+ hp with FI, if you're looking at making less then that or running n/a, then a stock computer is adequate, as is the ignition system.

Oh, I was only going off his first post, but I do agree that if you are going to go high end you will have to go high end $$$.
