To VVT or not to VVT

[pl4yboy]

Sorry for all the posts but the beer is full effect and it looks like there isnt enough range to make it happen on the advance side to see if my theory is correct.

Article from Hotrod MagThe Gen IV's VVT system is very flexible and allows advancing the cam 7 degrees and retarding it 45 degrees for a total of 52 degrees of latitude.

Tech note from Comp cams VVT tech bulletin. The difference in the pin between 156 and 189 cores equates to 13 degrees cam retard (if a 156 is used
where a 189 is required). {thinking i have a 156 "type" core installed and with only 7 degrees of advance available in the phaser I am not going to be able to make up the 13 degree difference... Looks like I won't need to call Allen..

Vvt is garbage.

Pl4boy I think i remember you saying that you converted yours to non vvt. Could I go down to the 3 bolt style just get the cam sprocket. Ls2 cover and cam bolts right. Was there a different sensor or something like that. Im really thinking I'm moving to that lsr cam
