Everyone I see with a cam has sum sort of vvt single bolt cam...will there be a kit that deletes the vvt/dod stuff to run a 3 bolt cam to get full potential out of these things???I've only been seeing a part that reduces the cam movement down to 20%..can someone enlighten me plz...some people say there will never be a vvt dod delete because of how the front cover lt1 is setup. ..

There already is a DOD delete.

Comp makes a VVT limiter for larger camshafts.

All of the high power cars obviously have DoD removed, but I saw this and laughed a bit. I'm curious as to what you think the full potential is since even SBE VVT/non-DoD S/C has broken into the 900whp range. If you mean cam-only cars, they're still posting some stout numbers with mid-sized cams.

As far as I know, even the 1200whp TT build has a VVT cam. Doesn't seem to be a limitation in performance or tuning.

Yeah well for cam only..I'm trying to get my knowledge up about the c7 ya know lol..I'm just typing the info I was told buy diff sources..that they don't see the cam phaser stuff being deleted...but that's good to know that they do have such a thing..

I'm using katech's tray and GM high speed lifters to delete the DOD garbage from my LT1.

The VVT is fine although has to be limited for safe PV clearance when you put in a decent cam.

Katech cover is a really nice piece - looks so good that it's a shame that it gets covered up.

I may be lost..so there's a dod delete just no vvt delete??

Correct - the DoD is almost always removed with cam installs, and VVT is limited. I have a Comp phaser, Comp lifters, etc. for the larger cam. Some on here have gone quite a bit larger (as Jason pointed out) - just have to keep it within the outward boundaries of the installed VVT limiter (Comp, etc).

Absolutely there will be. The afm is no problem. The VVT is something you ideally want to keep, but matching your valvetrain to make sure it's happy with the phaser is crucial!

I don't see a reason to remove VVT unless you are running something extreme.
