you can,,I have 2.only problem is the body is plastic and some think it may not be strong or accurate enough for higher lift cams.high lift cams need more spring pressure and may screw w/ the pick up in cam sensor body while driving the oil pump and such.

I was thinking 58 tooth. Seems like a pretty involved project for a Mark iv block. I have the reluctor wheel worked out in my head just don't know how to work out the crank sensor mounting. Gen 6 is no problem 4 is a different story...

Actually, just thought of an idea. POS Audi's are good for something. Have to make an adjustable bracket for the crank sensor.

I just don't see it. The only thing I could see that would have an effect on the housing is the oil pump and the fact that the cam gear is going to try to pull the distributor gear into itself. The steel shaft in the housing is a steel shaft in either housing. Spring pressure is going to twist the cam and change the timing regardless of what the distributor housing is made out off.

The info I found for what it's work says the GM kit is very poor quality.
