You are still team L99. You have lower compression and the auto tranny. Team L99 is a great team and I am a proud member.

I have a factory l99 car that I did the ls3 conversion to. I went ahead and added a cam and had the heads milled to raise the compression.

You can do all of that but if u don't replace the pistons you are technically still a L99


I say now I'm a ls3 auto

OP, what did you actually do to the L99 besides a tune and who did the tune?

My first post on this forum
