That completely depends on your comfort level while working with wiring & tuning. If you have a stock TPI, etc; it's easy. What's your combo like?

PM me if you need any help- I believe you'll like the thruster; it's a great way to get a very tuneable EFI setup.

Default yes it will with proper setup

accell will tell you no ... most the accel dealers will tell you no

THEY ARE FULL OF CRAP

its a magnetic pickup for the crank sensor .. and a single magnetic pulse for cam you will only need to add a adjustable phasable cam rotor.

its as simple as that you set up the thruster in crank plus cam sync mode .. and then set up everything corespondingly ..

dont think of it as a distributor think of it as a crank triger and a magnetic cam sync.

Default Just my .02

I am installing a Gen VII Thruster with dual synch, wide band...and a host of goodies like a/c clutch, fan, and TCC control to the system. All of this on a modified Pontiac 400 in a 76 trans am. I'll be doing a full write up for Pontiac Enthusiast magazine.

I decided to edit my comments at this point as I don't want to appear to have passed judgement on the system BEFORE I have it installed and running.

There were no printed instructions with the set and there have been some changes since the instructions were posted to the download site. That has given me some trouble...but we are working through that now.
