Default Crank trigger?

Looking to run Microsquirt and wondering if anyone here has ran the MARS damper that has trigger wheel machined into it and what your experience was. How was the quality? I'm well versed in megasquirt with 6 different cars running it and more than a few inline 6's at that. Looking to tune for this crappie fuel we are getting (e15) and tossing the idea around of a gt30 and laying on some boost. If I'm gonna get crappie milage may as well have fun doing it. The Mars damper looks like a great option for a 36-1 trigger.

Given your experience with Megasquirt and tuning multiple inline-6s, you should be well-prepared to handle the adjustments needed for E15 fuel and the potential boost from a GT30. It's definitely a good idea to embrace the fun side of things, especially if you're already working with crappier mileage. Just make sure to monitor your air-fuel ratios closely as you tune for that boost. Good luck with your build; it sounds like it’s going to be a blast!
