Working on the Opti solution.

Well, the opti started to crap out, so we got LS1 coils, a crank trigger and cam sync from MSD and the eDist box from FAST.</font>

Why would you need to do that? All you have to do to change the firing order of the coils is move the coil wiring harness connectors around. You would have to do the same thing to the injectors too.</font>

Got it through a vendor that has some horrible support, with one of the best reputations for FAST in the country.
We're still looking for advice or schematics on the eDist wiring. I'm beginning to think that Craig and the others at FAST don't even know themselves.

Well, I don't think that Mark (Montalvo) is going to have a lot of problems with the wiring, but sourcing a cam sync stub has been (more than) problematic so far, apparently. We've got the FAST box, LS1 coils, and an MSD crank trigger wheel, but we're waiting on a cam sync stub at the moment, and at this point, I didn't really want to pay the extra money for the Motec stub if I didn't have to.
I'm out of town and don't have access to my e-mail. If you could post the vendor you bought the MSD cam sync stub from, I'd appreciate it. I'm getting a little anxious to see my engine finally finished and find out just how much power it makes with a fully functioning ignition.
Thanks!

Ok I works Fine has been field tested and,Is in production and should be availible in 2 too 3 weeks .Linginfelter wants some, So judge for yourself.I am waiting for a phone call right now .May be able too set up a group purchase
.I should have the Component list and Price within a couple days.

did I see your Z at Larry Strouths? In Colonial Beach VA?
Also, is that your LT1 with the AFR heads?
If so, is the Opti eliminator and Coil pack ignition a good and reliable system? I'd like to check it out.

PS: if that isn't your stuff, disregaurd.
Hello,
Does anyone have a complete and documented system that uses the stock PCM signals, LS1 coils and a CD control module? It would be great if someone pulled all the information together from this post and documented something for others to follow as a guideline.

Yes It's mine, all mine hehehe Small World .It's an lt4 now
.The unit entails a gm coil pak availible anywhere, crank trigger, and a unit too control it.I will Have pricing in 2 too 3 weeks units will be availible about 30 too 45 days.Screw looking at my ride there Check out the Volkswagon it's the **** .Also for COMPLETE control the Delphi's should be availible in the next couple months Those units are SICK!! Don't forget too stop at Willey's on the way there. That's half the reason the DRIVE IS
WORTH IT MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Willey's Tell Trish I sent you the guy with the 240z

hehehe. just kidding on that. Hey, what are hot rodding buddys for anyway, lend tools, give away parts.Maybe Larry will let me race that Cobra at MIR tonight.

Karl Ellwein--see ya in the winner's circle.
95 impala SS, (2 wins at MIR so far this year).
I have no stake at all in it.Just trying too help Sr. sell some.Because all you all Cry about the opticrap all day long.I hate too see such suffering. my opti was blocking a hole[tecII].I bought the plug from GM this year.Never hooked up probably has anywhere from 3000-5000 miles on it, want it CHEAP ?.As for the Cobra, Whose Driving it? Jeff?? After the Volkswagon nuetered him , and chipped his tooth do you think he is up for it?HHEHEHE
I must admit that I am lost. Does someone have a kit available that uses the optispark, LS1 coils and stock PCM (OBDI? or OBDII?) ? LT1240Z, you speak (or write) in tongues. I don't have a clue to waht you are saying concerning the status of this kit. Can someone translate for me?
Thanks,

This is a really thought-filled thread, been a pleasure to read.
Since everyone is throwing 2 cents into the pot I figure another won't hurt. Someone mentioned the dry environment bearing problem?
I have a friend who builds competition level electric motors for RC drag cars. Don't know much about them actually but I know he uses 'bearings' from this company www.graphalloy.com
Maybe there's a solution somewhere there for the bearing problem.... worth a look.

After reading the whole preceeding thread (great one BTW), I would add one comment to the pot. In light of the coil pack option, and someone willing to machine a new cover with a support bearing, I would say that we should look at eliminating the white plastic piece with the opti harness plug as well. This seems to add a significant risk of failure to the system that I believe we can eliminate. It would envolve wiring the optical sensor to a new plug or pigtail on the lower drivers side of the machined opti cover. This would require a new, longer harness to run up to the original plug, but would help to eliminate water in the opti and also eliminate a second seal behind the white plastic piece. Does this make sense? I think this would complete the ~opti elimination that has started here. I'm really excited about the posibility of a more bullet proof system.
