Not to hijack, but I've been doing some research as well. It seems Microsquirt2 v3 (with some minor mods)can run with just the 24x GM wheel and no cam sensor. It is batch-fire fuel and waste-fire spark but several people are running 700hp+ boosted engines with it. Conveniently, when wiring for waste-fire spark the cylinder pairs are the same for an LS1 and small block mopar. It looks very simple to install and you can still use junkyard LS1 coils, throttle body, etc. I plan to install a 24x wheel like Quicksilver did and follow these directions:

This seems like a simple option for those looking to tune their own car. Its about $350-400 for the microsquirt, so cost will probably end up about the same as using the GM computer and paying for the tune.

BTT bringing this one back from the dead as I'm getting ready to finally swap....really tired of tuning with the carb lol

Wondering if any more progress has been made too. think I've read this whole thread a dozen times.
Its something I'd like to possibly do, I found a shop somewhat close that tunes LS dirt cars. They will put a base tune on your computer for what I think is a reasonable price. Haven't called them to see if they would be willing to something like this.

I did the EFI with coils about 10 years ago with a AEM ecm and LS coils . It is nice to be able to tune fuel and timeing on a individual cylinder. I run 400 hp nitrous .
But with out EGTs or 8 O2s I am not sure I would bother as it is going to be a tunning nightmare .
I have 8 EGTs and 2 O2s .would like 8 O2s but that is cost prohibitive.
We are running the Factory Ls computers on some stuff and I can tell you it is good stuff . It how ever is not as good as A good aftermarket ECM . I have A lot more usable features in my AEM. the factory Ecm is dedicated where others make them much more flexable.
As you can see I covered my Ls coils as they are ugly as sh!t

I plan on using a Jeep cam sensor like the one you have mentioned in this thread. The pinout shows a 5V in, GND and 0-5V output. I assume that one would have to regulate the 12V battery voltage down to 5V for this sensor?

The 5 volts will be provided by the pcm...

I'm still working on collecting parts lol but my harness is done and ready to loom. Waiting on my money tree to grow

I still need a bushing to use the Jeep Dizzy, Any one have anything?

SD Concepts is making them.

Yes, very nice piece well worth the asking price.

do you have to time or sync the crank reluctor ring and cam sensor, if so is it done off cylinder 1 tdc?

Where do you purchase the SD concepts bushing? I don't see the option on their site. Is there another option?

Hows that for a resurrection?

Did you see the new cam sensor from Andy F?
I have them in stock. Checkout the CNP page on my website.

Ya its all nice stuff..

I emailed Jerry, I don't have the address handy though. You might check out the facebook page for them.

i'm here, you can pm me here. I've got kids at camp and i'm in and out of the office. we have the cps bushings on the shelf as well as our crank trigger kits for big blocks and small blocks. IF they would have asked rich wouldn't have had to reinvent the wheel

we have a 24x trigger wheel available for our crank trigger kits as well if anyone needs those.
