Re: ls1 in my longbed
Hi have you seen the controllers GMPP makes for the LS1 for carb applications? It uses the cank position sensor to fire the coils, less moving parts. I have never seen anyone use the distributor setup. I believe you use a ford dist.

Re: ls1 in my longbed
I would use an MSD box for it. DIS is way more accurate, and it will give you tuneablility with a laptop, as well as better fuel mileage, and economy. By the time you buy a distributor, front cover, and everything else needed, you'll have the same money invested as a cheap laptop and the MSD DIS kit.

Re: ls1 in my longbed
If you search for HorsepowerTV episodes, they done a carb and distributor setup on a LS1 and put it on a engine dyno. Produced alot of power....
http://www.powerblocktv.com/site3/in...10&ep_sea=0901 There is the link.... They show a picture of it too. Looks pretty awesome! Would love to do it in mine, but thought it was quite expensive.

Re: ls1 in my longbed
I watched that episode as well. They made 490 hp with the conversion kit and a comp cams thumper cam. The kit makes cam swaps about as simple as a regular SBC. I was surprised at how much power it made.

The Distributor is from a 302 Ford.... If you have Itunes on your computer, you can download the full Episode and they tell you word for word what they used....
