Cool. I live in Livonia and may be your first customer. My car has been built and I'm just waiting on having it delivered. I will bring it by the shop when it arrives so we can talk.

The advantage in a custom cam phaser limiter is that it allows controlling the amount of camshaft movement to a certain range, which allows for aftermarket cam profiles with more lift and duration that would have piston to valve clearance issues with the stock phaser and full travel.

I am surprise that no one has not mention anything about the VVT in the manual.

I can't wait to see what the tunes look like. I wonder if each Driver Mode has a different tune or if it's all the same and they just turn on AFM in Eco. Hopefully that's the case.
How much more is a cam package + install for an L99 vs an LS3, with all the AFM/DoD delete stuff?

Should be about the same. However, with the L99 you're converting to an LS3. If you don't know, an L99 is an automatic V8 6.2 liter Camaro with the factory VVT. LS3 in a Camaro is a 6 speed manual......same as a 2008/13 C6 6.2 liter Corvette. The L99 Camaro automatic has 400 hp and the LS3 6 speed manual has 426 hp. Lots of conversion parts involved with the aftermarket VVT cam setup. So, the list Livernois had provided to us is pretty much on the money. Just to give you an idea, the parts for my L99 was around $1400 including the cam. But we are talking about a C7. Anywhere else it could be much more or less.

As many of you have seen, we took delivery of our 2014 Corvette Stingray earlier today. We wasted no time in getting to work making improvements on an already fantastic platform from GM. First on our agenda was to baseline the car, and begin working on an improved performance calibration. These results we are posting are preliminary, and we hope to make further refinements, and improvements over the coming weeks, but we are glad to see that there is a good deal of room for improvement. In addition to this, we will be offering our in house developed calibrations in an easy to use hand held tuner for those of our customers too distant from us to come by the shop. More details, videos, and pictures will follow, as will further development work with many products we have been developing over the last 4-5 months for the Gen-V engines.

Correct, we want to have a system for these cars to replace the problematic DOD/AFM lifters to be better suited in high RPM usage. The tricky part is every Gen-V engine to date has DOD/AFM, so unlike the L99 where you can buy factory parts to convert it, you will need aftermarket solutions to delete it in the Gen-V platform.

Plus the extra labor of pulling the heads and replacing the lifters. One of the things I loved about the non-AFM cars was the obscene cost/power ratio of doing just a cam and headers. Shame that ratio is going down.
Have you pulled the tune/tunes out of the car yet and how much different are they from what you encountered with the Gen IV motors?
