I don't believe anyone else in the country is building max effort VVT & VVT/AFM camshafts for the L99. Typically the larger camshafts we offer add 100 flywheel (approx 80rwhp) horsepower.

Called today will be calling back.

Good luck.

Bill

yes, its tuned thew them now. I talked to them and got a install/tune price.

He does not have a stall right now. He wants to add that later. Has a transmission cooler. I called and talked to think (TSP) he said Mike, got a price for everything needed.

[siriusdish]

Ok, now know what is going on,lol.

Need to find out how much of a difference the 80 rwhp cam w/ a 3200 Stall is over the 65 rwhp and stock converter is?? How much gain is the 80 rwhp cam with 3200 stall going to be over the 65 rwhp cam and the stock stall in the 1/4??? Hows the drive going to be on the highway??? Thanx!!!

The vvt-3 car with a 3200 stall would destroy the +65 rwhp car with a stock converter. All things being equal I would guess the vvt-3 car would be at least .5 seconds quicker in the 1/4 or more. Hey if your going to have the heads off the PRC cnc'ed heads from TSP are only $800 TSP says they are good for +25 rwhp just a thought.

We have been doing a lot with VVT with the help of the guys at Texas Speed.

Most shops shy away from the VVT stuff b/c it's more complicated and requires a little more time and attention during the installs as well as proper phaser tuning.

But let me be clear. VVT is the way things are headed and truly the best way of making power across the RPM range.

Put your trust in Jason and the guys at Texas Speed and I assure you, you'll be happy you did!

Looks like that is what he is going to do and go with the 3600 stall.

Sweet, he wanted to order today but his card did not go threw, he used it to much lately

He asked if he should get the 3200 or the 3600 and the guy said he would go with the 3600. So thats what he is going to do. He got beat by a GTO at flashlight drags and we know why now, guy had a cam and converter! The guy's friend posted a video on youtube of it, Flashlight drags 6-19-2011 if U want to see it,lol.

[siriusdish]

can't the heads be ported when they are taken off?

US Bank fraud department shuts my card off all the time it pisses me off.

When I talked to Jason about what converter to go with he said the 3200 is a great match with the VVT-3 cam,but keep in mind this is my wife's DD.
