FAST, E-Dist, Crank trigger, Cam sync... argh- what do I need?
A couple questions...
I didn't see anyone answer the question about why the MSD stub can't provide both signals required (hi-res for the eDist, low-res for the crank signal to the ECU). Anyone know?
Second question... my coil brackets and harnesses just showed up, and I assumed that the bolts which hold the coils on screw into the brackets themselves, but the holes aren't tapped with threads. The one bolt that I bought ($2.47!) to make sure I knew what size was required is M6 x 1.0 - 20mm. I can just thread the holes with an M6 x 1.0 tap, but it seems a shame to ruin the coating. Anyone know what the deal is here? I would have assumed these things would come ready to install...

The bolts are to self tap into the hole.
Kind of sucks but thats how they made them.

I think I'll just run a tap through them anyway. I'm going to use my own 18-8 stainless fasteners and I don't want to eat up the threads on a bunch of them trying to screw them in.
I was reading through the DFI Gen7 directiosn online and came across the LT1 section. They had a little * on it and said that "Can be run in sequential with adapter box" .. So, I called DFI to see how this would work. They told me you need to have yoru optispark modified to send a cam and crank signal and there is a company doing it in california called Blood Motorsports .. Anyone ever hear of them? I did a search on google and came up blank..

I talked with them about doing mine. Seem like good people,but wasn't going to pay $500.00 to have it done. Tad spendy in my book.
I have their number here somewhere if you need it,finding it is another story.
