Working with a 3800 SC from a GTP that will have MS3x. It has a C3I ignition module . This will not allow a sequential firing. But I could go with 6 LS1 coils. What would be best ? Have the room for either.
Thanks,Randy
Gm C3I or LS1 coiling ?

Which will be less expensive and easier for you to do? There is no functional advantage to sequential spark at the speeds that engine can operate (< 12-15K rpm?).

I have a 3800 series II S/C in my 89 cavalier and run the MS3X INJ's in Batch fire mode currently. A guy I know has the same setup running full Sequential though. I tried to get mine going but had issues with the CAM in on the MS. I resolved the issue but haven't decided to change it over. I get 23-28mpg with the setup. Running 3.4in Pulley, 180* stat, 104 plugs and some other mods. What version board y have? I am using 3.0 and had to make hardware changes to support the C3I setup.

She is a MS3x3.57c, I think . Would love to see your MSQ ! Please ??
And ask your friend if I could get a look at his MSQ ? Please .
Not finished with the install yet but close. Would like to get the MS3c worked out first. Its for my Wifes 85 Jimmy. Should be fun having the 3800SC ?
Thanks,Randy

I posted in your other thread with the MSQ. Where you from, if I might ask? Don't see a lot of MS'ers running 3800's.

Its pretty easy, it fits the trans and the under hood area. And with a little tweaking 300HP.
