Crank Trigger -vs- Dual Sync Distributor

I am pretty sure my opti has gone bad again. I am running GEN7 DFI, so, adding a dual-sync distributor would be an option. Now the question is, take the intake off, drill it for a distributor and run a dual-sync, or replace the opti and add a crank trigger for the crank signal so I can run sequential ???

Any opinions?

Thanks,

where are in toms river ... I used to cruise that area all the time with my green 97 camaro (with a blower ) i used to hang out with a guy name John (he had a 98 red z/28) lol


are you by seaside :cool:

Toms River isn't that big :) .. I know John, haven't seen him in a while, I don't cruise 37 too often anymore .. Too much at stake w/ all the cops and ricers ..


Anybody else have any opinions on the above matter? :D

Does the dual-sync allow you to run sequential as well?

Yep, the dual sync gives the crank and cam signal so I can run sequential. But, I've heard of people running a flying magnent or crank trigger in high horse-power applications instead of the dual-sync because the signal gets skewed or something with the dual-sync..

That's what I thought. Yeah, I've heard the same thing before. Does it seem to be a widespread issue with the dual-sync or just a few people saying this? I'd think if it was a big issue it would be fixed, but who knows.

don't mean to hijack this thread .... yes have not been there in years .... 37 was fun back in the day :cool:

Nobody has answered the guy's question yet. lol. I would if i had an answer but please people. Get to the point here.

I'd lean towards the crank trigger setup since the dual-syncs seem to have problems. The only problem is the machining required for a blower setup cause of the pulley. Granted the intake would need to be drilled for the distributor, but I'd just go to a single plane myself if I were doing that.
