I am really wanting a big cam for my l99. I also don't have clue what all I need. I see people with huge lists of things they had to buy, is there anyone that can help me out. Please post videos of idle clips too. Do I need the LS3 conversion or should I go VVT? I don't know the advantages and disadvantages of either? Price?

Just remember big cams need big converters.

Everyone has an opinion, here's mine. Keep the VVT, upgrade the lifters ( a must), pushrods (good chance the lgth will be wrong), tensioner and trunions, why, because they are known to fail as mine did. lol.

Oh no. I'd be running a 3200 on a stock cam if I had a L99.

No not a bad thing just a must so you can add the cost of a good convertor to your list .Most should also be acomponied by a lower gear ratio as well .

I have GPI VVT SS3, Bo White ported heads. Car has 3200 converter, 3600 would be a better match. Stock gear would be okay but I have a 3.91

Sounds good, Ryan's VVT cams are definitely good performers. I've got a short clip of the GPI VVT SS4, I'll find it and post it as well.
