Complete 5.7 Spartan setup, new in box

I came across this on LX forums if anyone is looking to do a cam set up anytime soon..

http://www.lxforums.com/board/showthread.php?t=178837

I've been eyeing that.. Non-MDS lifters are worth about $200, so that's a smoking deal.

Me to but i dont know if it is going to give me what i am looking for for my car...

What are you looking for?

Spartan is a strong, mid to high end cam that doesn't suffer in the low end compared to larger cams. This is an ideal camshaft for an lx owner who doesn't necessarily want to do ported heads. It is MDS friendly with proper tuning...

Honestly i am looking for more of an old school sound like your old srt max rumbler and a set of big valve heads... but it will take a while before i can get that kinda money saved up... but i also dont wanna rob my performance either... i dont know...

If I can figure out how to hide this from the wifey, I will be upgrading my Sidewinder!

what else would be needed for an install w/ all the stuff that is listed on here???

Pm Matt he would be the guy to tell you! I was talking to him about it and it sounded like everything is there for the install. The only extra things I could think of would be oil and antifreeze! You would also need to get tuned thats about $300-$400 depending on where you go.

Sounds like everything is included PLUS the $200 non-mds lifters.. It's a hell of a deal.

Do you all have a recommendation on who does good tuning???

and also how much does the install cost for it is it again

Damn this sounds good... Matt this is the sound i want lol.... granted that is a lot of $$$ but eventually thats what i want...

I can get you a solid base tune.. Dyno tuning, I don't know.

Money doesn't buy lope, an aggressive LSA with some overlap does. Straight pipe exhaust will give you a sound like that too... Stock or most aftermarket catbacks will muffle most of the lope.

The more overlap, the less power you see. Generally, overlap on a cam is good for torque.

When you say a solid base tune what does that mean exactly... i have a predator so does this mean that you will tune it w/ in the predator???

Meaning the air fuel won't be 100%, but it'll be close.. It'll run slightly rich (safe) at WOT.

Oh ok i gotcha sorry for the stupid question... i am sure i am rich as it is now anyways...

Sounds like a great deal.. And definitely let Matt do the install.. He knows what he's doing..

If I didn't have almost 3 years left on my 3 year warranty, I'd go for this!

Doesn't Modern Muscle do good dyno tunes?

This might have sold but i am not sure....
