If there is a size limitation of vvt, I haven't seen or experienced it. I run Brian tooleys Extreme springs, and while Im not going to give out my exact specs, my duration is bigger on both lobes than the mast ss, and lift is approaching mid 600s.

When retarding the cam, you are losing exhaust ptv clearance. The l99 has huge valve reliefs and even a large cam such as mine at full 20* retard, still has ample clearance. So the only limitation really is intake ptv, which I solved by flycutting. And that's only an issue on a large cam like mine. Anything smaller would clear just fine.

How much of a discount? lol

Pfft! You should take my mild bolt-on L99 car and install a VVT cam and tune and use my car for further stats and proof that you kick ass and are the best!

Please?

Ah hell. I probably can't afford it but what would be a ballpark price?

I've been told the lifters won't hold up. I don't know if that's true or not. I'm interested in this. The cost of the LS3 conversion added to the cam swap has kept me from doing my cam swap.

I would have probably saved a ton of money by going VVT in the first place but you live and learn.
