MS3X Ignition / Wheel Settings RX8 Trigger

Hello

I have a MS3X (ms3release 1.4.0) and want to use it on my FD engine.
I Have a RX8 Trigger wheel and Sensor.
What are the Ignition / Wheel Settings with the RX8 Wheel and Sensor? I dont (cannot) use the exact position of the RX8 Sensor, so is this problematic?
I have read alot that there are some guys having problems when using the RX8 trigger, they switched to a 60-2 trigger like the FFE Trigger sets.
So what type is the best and safest way to have a stable rpm signal. What type of Sensor (Hall or Magnetic) ist the way to go?

My Engine Specs:
FD Engine
SemiPP
4 Channel CDI
4 MSD Coils

thanks

The RX8 wheel will work as long as it is mounted in such a way that it is close to the factory rx8 position and the sensor is also close. As far as settings, you want rotary stroke, 2 rotors, COP ignition, and the rx8 wheel.
