Sorry for digging up an old thread but I thought I'd share my experience.

I installed one of the new style 30 slot cable x's a few weeks back in my 82 c10, its running an AW30-40LE box (jeep cherokee, toyota etc) with a 4 pulse per rev VSS output. This equates to a pulse per mile figure of 760 or so.

My speedo jumps around all over the show for the first 10 minutes driving (it reads bang on double speed for the first couple of miles), this could be due to the very low pulse count or also me not having the cable as straight as it could be. Either way it wakes up/warms up after a while and reads just fine.

I have the box under the dash and haven't really heard it over the engine noise.

Im happy with the unit and will make some changes and see how it goes.
