I got my conversion kit here http://www.lingenfelter.com/mm5/merc...gory_Code=C379.:thumbup:

Livernois motorsports sells it. Jannetty Racing sells it and LG motorsports sells it.

We have the complete conversion kit if you want to remove the VVT. Have you studied VVT? The main reason shops sell VVT delete kits is they don't have experience with VVT to run it properly.

VVT allows you to run the same duration camshafts you currently run, only with the ability to control the camshaft throughout the entire rpm pull? Why wouldn't anyone want that ability? It's one of the better advances the LS motors have made in several years.

Think of it this way

Does more advance make more power down low in the rpm band? Yes

Does less advance pickup power up top in the rpm band? Yes

Does VVT allow you to have the best of both worlds? Yes

Do you want the best possible power at every rpm point? If the answer is yes then you want VVT. :) :)

Wait so the deal with these ls3 conversions is that they pretty much turn your auto into a manual?? Or am I missing something?

The man has a point.....

It really just "converts" your L99 that comes in the Auto to an LS3 that comes in the manual cars. Does nothing to the transmission. The L99 has Variable Valve Timing (the camshaft advance/retard changes depending upon where in the rpm range you are) and the L99 has DOD (displacement on demand, shutting off half the cylinders under certain conditions), the LS3 has neither of these and is a more traditional pushrod V8.

Can you go with a full spec range of camshafts w/ VVT... Answer = No

Does somebody sell a decent blower cam for the L99 w/vvt? Also, is there an upgraded lifter available as well?

LS7 lifters are the replacement. There are lots of blower friendly cams for VVT out there.

Let us know what you do.....
