It's from EFI connection. They have multiple models that are not shown or listed on their website so it's best to call them for the correct application. Mine is for a traditional small block with a 60-2 wheel and no cam sensor provision in the cover (I use a rear cam sensor)

I used a 24 tooth reluctor on mine I considered the 58 tooth but an 0399 ecm and harness was convenient for my build. Is the 60 tooth something different? or is it really the 58?

60-2 = 58

I'm using a Megasquirt MS3-pro ECU and that allows me to use the higher resolution of the 60-2 wheel

How's the tunnel ram EFI treating you now that you've got some cold weather time on it?

Runs flawless............ I haven't done a cold start colder than -5º or so but you can fire it up and drive away if you want to....... no issues. I've put over 3000 miles on it since September............. I drive my car most of the time though for daily driver stuff. I should really get a good video of a cold start one of these days...........

Does that sprocket accept a double roller timing chain?

damned Chevy guys get all the trick retrofit timing parts.

I'd love to see a cold start vid of your truck.

Just out of curiosity what timing chain are you using? I have the same setup but with the plastic cover, thinking I might order the billet cover before I install. Not sure I will get to it before spring though. I have a customer in Fargo keeping me out of town to much :)

I have been wondering about fuel economy numbers. The setup looks really cold blooded to me. My conventional sbc street engines pick up 2 mpg in the summer.

Significant F.E. loss is inevitable in cold weather. The warm up to operating temps can take 20 miles, rolling and drivetrain friction is higher and the colder intake air reduces thermal efficiency. 20% loss is not uncommon.
