Because I have no issues with the distributor system, but to run flex fuel on the P59 OS I must have a 24x reluctor ring (the alcohol percentage reverts to last known value when "Crank LO RES" is selected in the System Options). To the best of my knowledge, the OS determines which ignition system can be used. I know that everyone who runs CNP uses a LS operating system. But the OS I'm using is a 2005 Mexican L31 operating system on a P59 ECU. If I can run a 24x reluctor ring but still retain the distributor I'd be spending less to get flex fuel. Plus I would have to make custom exciter brackets to fit around my whipple if I went with CNP.
If it doesn't work then no loss. But if it does I'd be saving money and time while still being able to upgrade to CNP in the future. I just don't see the value in running CNP when my stock ignition system performs perfect.
In short, I want to run flex fuel without spending a bunch of money getting coil packs, brackets, licensing costs, etc.
