    Okay, without sounding too stupid, I have to ask.......if the cam is turning half the speed of the crank, don't you have to keep the same relationship between crank reluctor and cam reluctor? I understand that the diameter of the crank wheel doesn't matter, but doesn't the cam wheel have to be a certain size determined by the crank wheel? Wouldn't it have to be twice the size of the crank wheel unless you were using something that was gear driven like the EFIConnection wheel that is retrofitted into the distributor? Probably a real simple answer that I'm overlooking and as soon as someone says it then it'll hit me, but I had to ask. I'm afraid to start buying parts not knowing if this set-up will work, but with two other people on this forum alone having the same idea, that gives me hope. I have ZERO tuning experience, but figured if I could figure out all the packaging (at least if it's possible) and get it together, then I'd find someone to tune it for me!
