Default upper timing gear

I understand that the gen IV LS2, 6;0l engine produced in 2005 used a 24t relucter and a single hump upper timing gear. My question is does this model use the SAME cam position sensor as later gen IV engines that have a 58t reluctor and a four hump upper timing gear?

Not to derail the thread, but are you Shirl Dickey? Inventor of the E-Racer mid-engine 2-place canard aircraft?

Thank you! I erred, your aircraft is single place. Wiki helped me there....
To answer your question, the same cam sensor is used in both the 1x and 4x upper sprocket, non VVT apps.

The Eracer is a two place side by side retractable canard. For more info go to <eraceraircraft.com>. Thanks for the CPS info, I expected that to be the case. I'm dealing with a problem with my 24t gen IV LSX where with the cps plugged in the engine goes way flat and unplugged it runs fine...

OK, then Wiki was wrong. I had always thought by the shape of the cockpit canopy it was 2-place, but did not know for sure.
BTW, I have thought since I've been learning about LS engines that they would be a natural in The Eracer. All aluminum, good power density, VERY durable, etc.
