FAST "Crank Box" I've done a good bit of searching on Fast's crank sensor decoder, but i haven't really found any literature on it. I haven't even found a website that lists it for sale.
Anyone have any information on it? A place where I can pick one up online maybe?

Call up FAST. They don't know much there, but it is better than nothing.
The box will give a hall effect signal @ 60 BTDC which is what most standalones require for a trigger angle. Depending on your fueling strategy (batch vs. sequential) you will also need a cam sensor. I tried to find when the stock cam setup gave its signal, but I was never able to get a response.
What is your proposed setup?

Thanks, I'll give them a call.
I'm looking to use an AEM ems with a turbo ls1. I don't have a lot of experience with crank triggers to be honest, but i'm determined to learn and make this work in the process.
This may be a n00b question, but what exactly do people mean when they refer to a 4x signal? How many teeth does the LS1 crank have?

Kurt @ W2W sells them, his email address is kuperf@aol.com.
He also has a lot of crank trigger experience.
The FAST is 4x.
The LS1 is 24X if I recall.
LS2 is 60X.

LS2 is 60X.
The numerical value is the times per revolution that a crank signal is put out.
Most standalones require 4 outputs per revolution, at 60 degrees BTDC though some have adjustable trigger angle.
I'm assuming you are considering the generic AEM? They have really missed the boat by not offering an LS1 compatible piece but it would be difficult for any standalone to mirror the capabilities of the factory PCM.
Why would you ditch the stock computer?
