I live in KY and we have a few shops here that do cam installs. Is there anything special or specific I should ask them to make sure they can install a VVT cam? I already know they will not handle the tuning but want to make sure that the install is good to go. In other words, is there any special qualifications needed for a VVT cam over a traditional cam?

Grocerygetter posted a vid of our ss3 vvt somewhere and I'll find the video of our ss2 a customer just installed.

So this is the SS3? Nice.

Are there any videos of SS1 and SS2?

I prefer no VVT and getting rid of the lifters. Just from the lifter failures I've seen.

Best is to talk to the shop doing the work and get there input.

Yeah...lifters have to go VVT or not.

What range of VVT cams do you install and tune?
