8cyl DIS

[Douglas Ratcliffe]

According to an article in Hot Rod Camaros this month, the 2 500+ ci big
block Camaros that were built by GM's racing ground (John Moss et al)
both used ZR1 LT5 computers with DIS.

Hi - I went home last night and dug out 1 of the articles I had seen on
the
LS1 w/ the Northstar DIS. Car runs low tens - probably high nines w/
more
tuning

As some of you said - Why? especially considering that the LS1 already
has
individual coils for each cylinder. - that was the reason I remembered
seeing it. I dunno, but it seems to me that if I had access to anything
that
GM builds I'd too use whatever I thought would work best.

Maybe something to be learned here.

Anyway - the Hot Rod article stated that the engine was using the
Northstar
ECM and DIS - and if you look closely you can see the the DIS pack
with
ignition leads running to individual cylinders.

Now - just to throw another wrench into the works - the article I was
really
looking for was in PHR or Super Chevy - I don't think I have it, but
if
someone out there does please share it with us, because I think it
contradicts Hot Rod - I thought that it said they were using a
different
ECM (ZR-1 perhaps?)
