use vvt with stock cams for sure, thats my opinion anyway, thats what i will be doing when it comes time to finish my wiring

[dr1ft-pig]

To bring up this topic on a slightly different angle again - I'm in the process of a 20v build and am having similar thoughts. What I want to know is what profiles have people found to be successful while still retaining the vvt. I was initially going to run standard cams with the vvt but an adjustable gear on the exhaust side cam. I need to make a decision very soon. Any thoughts are much appreciated. :2thumbs:

*BTW - sorry for a hijack

A 20v has 250 degrees standard... I would think a slightly more agressive cam would still be able to use it

[dr1ft-pig]

yeah u cant really go much bigger apparently thats just what i have been told, if your going to get massive cams id get rid of it anyway
