And for all the LT1 guys hating OptiSpark, the cost to them is WELL worth it so they're not stuck on the side of the road (Mike wasnt it you that said its happened to you?)!

So what do you guys think about electronic throttle with a single coil and distributor? Thoughts about changing the Corvette calibration's high resolution crank to low resolution? Maybe I'll try it out this year.

Ah crap, sorry Mike I was talking about the other Mike in this thread (schwoch1)! My bad.
Probably true though, I assume LT1s used in marine applications in 97 have OptiSpark still? If so my friends are gonna love it with their MasterCraft craps out, least its been running strong for 13 years now.
Interesting, does anyone know if the actual code for low resolution crank exists in a Vette OS? I thought thats why the Vortec Black Box guys using a LS1 PCM swap use an Express Van tune because it has the low resolution crank and no other OS does (maybe Blazers with the 4.3, but no V8s)?

Twice to be exact, barely made it to the shop on one and walked with the second failure. One was a brandy new Delphi unit and the other was a Cardone reman... the cardone actually made it longer before the bearing shit out!!! Wasn't going for the third time...... Thank god EFI Connection had their setup hot off the press!!! I thank Mike every day the truck starts and don't leave me stranded!!!

mine isn't an LTx optispark, but my POS vortec distributor setup has left me stranded before as well. I'm glad I did the 24x setup. it was WELL worth it to me too.

Hey Miike with the dbw setup on the e38 if i am using all the complete dash,wiring, bcm,pim,pedals & everything else from the donner car the cruise should still work right?
Donner was manual 2006 Holden hsv gto coupe with the e40ecu and have rewired to the e38 ecu body plug and have the ecu with the right configuration to suit.
Also would there be any ill effects by installing the throttle body straight down onto a modified 4bbl intake with an adapter instead of using one of those elbows.
thanks Ron.
I can't speak from experience, but it all sounds good to me.
I'm not the right guy to ask, but I think it will work.would there be any ill effects by installing the throttle body straight down onto a modified 4bbl intake with an adapter instead of using one of those elbows.
