Y2khawk/harlan -> status of 2 step? Just curious how this is coming along - I know a few people who are interested in it already (and I am sure you have heard from 5000 more).
Also any plans/possibility of a LT1 setup? I would be your first customer and volunteer for any kind of beta-testing (at full price).
Thanks,
Chris

Re: Y2khawk/harlan -> status of 2 step? new proto version goes to the board house on monday. Shold have them back mid week. assemble and test the end of next week/weekend.
This one is an LS1 specific setup, due to the 8 coils and all.
I'd have to look at the LT1 setup, but i bet it's much easier to do. Single coil and all <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
Would the LT1 setup be an alternative to running and MSD w/ their 2 step?

Re: Y2khawk/harlan -> status of 2 step? Any tentative pricing info on the LS1 version?
Yep, LT1 should be pretty simple - I *think* the MSD version requires a MSD ignition - as it basically just switches the resistor value going to the rpm pill. For those of us with stock ignitions on crane's it would be a godsend!
Also, not to make it overly complicated, but what about a 3-step. This would allow a burnout rpm, launch rpm, and down the track rpm. I think that's probably the ideal way to do it from a tunability standpoint.
Thanks!

Re: Y2khawk/harlan -> status of 2 step? Welp
the biggest cost portion of the LS1 version is the connectors. It "splices" in between the factory engine harness and the coil pack sub harness on each side.
It's nice that way, because the only other connection you need to make is the trigger switch. all the other signals and power are taken from the coil pack plugs.
so, i gotta see how much packard is gonna rape me for on the connectors. It all depends on the quantity i guess. one-zies and two-zies are expensive <img src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" border="0">
As it sits right now, the proto is a single user enabled limiter. When not activated, it reverts to the PCM fuel-cut rev-limiter.
if all goes well w/ the proto, i can upgrade to 2 limiters. That way you can set the PCM to something higher, and use the 2 step.
And yes, the MSD requires their ignition. Gotta love the building block business approach. It's a $50 switch, then you need the pills, and this, and that, not to mention the ignition itself. Adds up quick.
Until i get a decent idea of how many and how much on the connectors it's tough to set a price. I'll make some calls tomorrow afternoon <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Re: Y2khawk/harlan -> status of 2 step? Doh, good point on setting the PCM to the max limit, that way the 2 step becomes a 3 step, etc. Just wasn't thinking that though <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
I wouldn't have any problem soldering, but an inline connector approach is certainly much cleaner.
Either way thanks, and keep us updated!
