Spartan Performance.....WTF?!? I thought that might get some peoples attention 
I just wanted to give a quick shout to Josh @ SP for doing a great job for me on my vehicles he's worked on. Im too damn old to do any work on cars anymore and while lurking on this site for a while i snagged a phone # and contacted Josh through here originally to work on my truck. He installed a cam in which he spec'd out for me, ported the throttle body, few other "free mods" (dunno what the hell that means) and full exhaust from the engine back. I do all my own tuning and after doing a street tune on the truck it runs like a raped ape. Cam driveability is perfect, exactly what I wanted along with power. Dunno any hp #'s but the truck yanks my 8,000lb trailor down the road now like it's not even back there.
After doing such a great job with the truck I gave him a crack at the Z06 which was a much more involved job. I had my motor rebuilt (was using lots of oil) so we went ahead and did new pistons, rings, bearings, etc etc. Nothing special mainly just a fresh shorty with forged pistons & valve reliefs for the cam. Again Josh spec'd out everything, and I ordered it from my preferred vendors. Everything you see in the sig was built on the car in about a week, and she runs like a dream. After loading a base tune in the car it will boil the tires @ 70 mph from a 3rd gear roll. Driveability again is excellent.
Same goes with my GTO he just finished. Flawless job
Just thought id throw a heads up to the locals who havent had any experience with Spartan Perf. yet. Im an old SBC/BBC fart and dont know much about the new age "LSX" stuff. Josh is a great kid who was very personable with me, answered all my stupid questions even if it meant answering the phone at 10:30pm cause I didnt know what to order. You just dont get personable service like that anymore. He definitely doesnt treat it like a 9-5 job, been there anytime I needed a hand or question answered. Not to mention the pricing is great. I wouldnt have been able to do half the things on the vehicles I did if I hadnt gotten such a great deal.
Thanks again Josh from one old fart to a young whipper snapper. Before I ship out i'll come by one last time so you can say bye to the Z06 you love so much hehe

Everything OldmanZ06 said is 100% true, besides doing a great job it's completely personal with Josh. I've call and sent text messages to him several times after midnight and he always responds and what really makes it nice is he's cool as hell.

Bout time you posted Eric. I built your damn Z06 two months ago 
Thanks again bud. It was an extreme pleasure meeting and working with you. I really think you could have done this all by yourself with the amount of **** you know, but better for me you're lazy and didn't
Wish you the best in your transfer to Germany and i'll pray the boats don't sink when they transport your cars

I have to throw my .02 cents in here...This past weekend Josh installed his ported TB on my 99 TA and some other free mods. He is a good guy and answers all my dumb questions that a rookie would ask. Hopefully I will be able to do some bigger mods in the near future. Thanks again Josh.

Josh is great, and he built a beast for me.
I know my 98 was a REAL Bi#ch(Electrical, PCM, Rearend), but he stuck it out, and fixed every problem.
Now I have a Pissed off monster in my driveway.
Thnx Josh
