Well we had a customer come in with an unusal request. He wanted to do a cam, all air intake and exhaust components are stock.

I figured it would be a good time to try our baby vvt grind and see what kind of power we could get with stock exhaust manifolds, cats, and induction.

Car was a 75,000 mile 2010 L99 car. Car baselined 334.

I got the cam in, tuned and results were 397/390!

Stock converter friendly, idles great at 650-675, and has an unbelievable power band. Peaks torque about the same spot at stock, and peaks power about 6300, carrying the same power all the way to 6800 rpm.

This cam is available in low lift and high lift variety, and this was on the low lift setup!

Been reading good things about your cams for a while now.

This one sounds great, can't wait to see the graph under the curve before/after.

My twist on the unusual would be this:

A VVT cam that doesn't require removing the heads

I already have a Whipple charger for the intake and Long tube for the exhaust.

I know the AFM-DOD lifters are a weak link , but I don't see the need to wind it up over 6300 rpm, just would like more low end torque.

Nice results.

grocerygetter · 09-13-2013, 11:11 PM

I'm ready for the vvt cam right underneath the 'ass dragger' model. lol. I'll be by Mnday to talk to u and james.

cipriank · 09-14-2013, 03:21 PM

What else did you change other than the cam?

Rhino79 · 09-14-2013, 04:30 PM

Cam, valve springs, AFM Delete. Tune, that is all.

Nightmare2012 · 09-14-2013, 04:50 PM

Vvt is becoming amazing!! Can convert an ls3 to vvt my cousin might be interested In doing that.

ThaCamaroKid · 09-14-2013, 04:57 PM

That is an awesome gain for just a cam and tune... Think I might know what cam I'll be getting when I get to that point....

Would require flycutting exhaust valve reliefs.
