L99 to LS3 conversion?
is it worth it? or should i go with a custom cam from rhino? what do both options usually run (just parts, install i can imagine how much it would be). what HP/TQ gains are normally expected from either option. thanks.

If you want a big boy VVT cam you need a good 3600 converter. Ls3 conversion kits are a waste of money theres tons of guys converting back to VVT

There are at least 8 threads on cams on the first two pages. No one knows what YOU want. We can just tell you what others are getting. Either way you go, if you go with a decent sized cam, you'll need a 3200+ converter.

I have had the ls3 conversion for 2 years but now I'm wanting to go faster without putting $7-$10k into boost applications so going to a big vvt cam

I love my 500 RWHP LS3 conversion. Pat G. spec cam. Not a waste of money at all.

Love how you can make over 500RWHP with the stock untouched heads keeping the VVT

I would love to have this conversion done to my L99 but i just also want to get rid of AFM and keep vvt. then figureing a new head and cam would be nice.
