AFM Delete, Valvetrain and Phaser recommendations
Hi all
I'm looking into getting the TSP new stage 1 VVT cam for my 2012 SS(L99) For that I will need: AFM(DOD) delete Cam Phaser Valvetrain upgrade TSP website has a several options, specially for the valvetrain What will you choose for these three sections if you are doing the same build? Taking into account, it is my daily driver, I go for a few trackdays yearly during winter(Summer time is pretty hot here in Dubai), I might start taking her for a few drag events I'm not trying to save every penny, I wanna make a good reliable build with value for money in mind I don't see myself pushing the car much further after this point(no FI) Thanks in advance Inspiro |

I talked to TSP and about their new cams and settled on the new vvt stage 3. But with that being said, they convinced me to do a converter first, so I'm saving for a Circle D 3200 billet converter now
![]() Talked to my builder and he agreed, 3200 Circle D will drive great on the stock cam until I can get that done and really wake the car up in the mean time!! Just something to think about. Also a grand less expensive than the cam.

Quote:
the extra 20hp for stage 3 will be annoying for me I did not totally discard the idea of an upgraded TC, but it all depends on how often I will take to the drag, but IMHO for street/few times track I can do with the stock conveter |
