Default Will a MSD TwoStep work on a Ls1?

This is for a turbo app, to get boost at the line. Will it work with a Ls1 ignition?

This is for a 6spd app. In a auto car, you can build boost on the line...but with a 6spd, you need the 2step to load the motor.

In fact, I figured i'd make a little clip to show how it's coming along.

Here's a 1 minute video of the 2 step in action. It's just the prototype right now, so don't mind the wiring mess <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">

I'm limmiting at 3200 for all of this, and w/ the exhaust capped. My neighbors hate me if i do this w/ the cut outs open and at 5000 <img src="images/icons/grin.gif" border="0">

I first show from the engine bay, show where the connections are made to the coils using OEM connectors. I'm trying to do it such that all you do is plug it in, and run your trigger line.

the i have the camera on the ground in front so you get a better idea of how much the turbos are spooling.

then inside. Watching the tach and then the boost gauge. It just starts to make boost w/ the exhaust capped. Open it up, and i make about 2 psi at 3200 <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">

higher than that and i make good boost for sitting still

it's about 14 megs, sorry <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">
