To all Rotorhead's,
   I am needing in-put from everyone on the pro's and con's of the 13B CAS
   vs. the RX-8 Trigger and sensor.
   I have already learned that I can use either system on my 13B; but,
   which one is best? The CAS is
   already installed and ready to go. If I should switch to the RX-8
   Trigger and sensor I can shed about two
   pounds from the engine. I like that possibility, but not at the expense
   of performance. What do you think?
   Thank's, Frank R. Clementi

   No difference in performance. Save time and money. Stick with what
   you have.

Frank,
I went down that road last summer.  It ended up costing me $300 and four
months of trouble-shooting.  If you choose to do this anyway, you'll
need a Renesis crank trigger wheel ($100), a CAS trigger ($100), and an
EC-2 upgrade ($100).  That's $150/pound of weight loss.  Also, you'll
need to rewire your CAS circuit and build a custom CAS sensor bracket.
Don't make the bracket out of anything magnetic as that will cause
erratic trigger signals.  This is one place where aluminum is best.

The benefit is that you can use the hole left by the old CAS for a
crankcase breather.
