I dug through my old emails to verify.  Slight correction.
Fast didn't respond to my emails a little over a year ago, so I
  emailed an eDist dealer with questions (AZ-Speed?)

Mike,
I doubt the Edist will work without a cam sync and it responds to the 
triggers from the FAST ECM. The Edist does not create the dwell timing 
either. That is accomplished in the FAST ECM. I doubt that the GM PCM that 
you intend to use will have a dwell table compatable with the LS1. Most of 
the applications we have done used a MSD DIS to drive the coils.
I am not sure where to locate the manual. It comes with the Edist. Fire off 
an email to FAST and see if they can forward one to you.
BigStuff has a new system out there that can do it all in one box. Drives 
the LS1 Smart Coils directly and will also run the ASA LS1 coils direct. It 
also has Electronic Trans control in the same box. Their new BigStuff Gen 
III is priced at $1800 base and comes with WBO2 and wiring harness. It 
includes software and programming cable. The LS1 package is more money but 
they have it at $2495 including DAI option. DAI is data logging internal 
where no lap top is required in the car to log data. All channels are 
logged at ultra high speed to RAM on board the ECM. This can be uploaded 
after the run and is easily enabled by a single toggle.
