6.1 Cam
#14
Stop the Madness!
I can answer most all of this...........
#1. No, the 6.1 cam does not require tuning......its a plug-n-play
#2. Yes, they are cheap..........I can get you a used one even cheaper
#3. The MDS motors will allow MORE than .500 lift ie. the Comp XFI260
#4. You can "ground out the MDS" but it will throw a CEL
#5. Call Dave @ B&G and ask him about a computer flash
#6. OR run the Comp XFI260 and not tune it and still have MDS
If you have any questions I'd be happy to help.

Comp offers 3 and so does Crane.
Steve and I offer a few...........
Tuning for the LX's (cars) seems to be monopolized by B&G, but there are rumors of stuff coming out this first quarter. The biggest tuning options we need are:
- raised idle rpm
- adj timing both static and tip in
- fine adj of the MAP
- depletion of the MDS mode from the appropriate vehicals

will run fine at rpm limit. i dont know where that info is coming from but its been proven time and time again. the theory was at one point max lift would be .518. that like i said was proven wrong and the comp xfi 260 cam runs fine. even with the stock spring. it does run better with the comp 918 tho.
i have some grings for the 6.1 and the 5.7. but im not comfortable selling here as we are not vendors. maybe soon.

not saying thats how i would run mine or yours. just saying that it has been done. i agree the lifter itself needs to be removed and replaced. but if your not ready to yank the head, then just install the comp spring and be done.
im all for lightweight valvetrain stuff. the mds lifter is a touch heavier than the other lifter, but not that much.
