FAQ
What engines does the Texas Speed wet sump VVT delete timing cover fit?
Texas Speed lists this cover for wet sump Gen V LT engines including the L83, L84 and L82 5.3L, the LT1, L86 and L87 6.2L and the LT4. Its fitment data covers the 2015 to 2022 Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Suburban and Yukon, the 2014 to 2019 Corvette and the 2016 and newer Camaro.
Should I buy the wet sump or dry sump VVT delete cover?
Match the cover to the engine's oiling system. This TSP-LT1VVT-DeleteCover is for wet sump engines, which includes all Gen V trucks and SUVs, while TSP-LT1VVT-DeleteCover-DS is for engines with factory dry sump oiling.
What comes with this VVT delete timing cover?
Only the timing cover. Texas Speed states that cam gears, reluctor wheels and timing sets are sold separately, so those components need to be added to complete the VVT delete.
Does installing this cover require modifications?
No. Texas Speed describes the cover as a direct replacement, precision machined to fit factory and aftermarket components with no modifications required.
Why would I delete VVT on an L83, LT1 or LT4?
Texas Speed lists VVT removal as a requirement for serious LT performance applications, where fixed cam timing with a conventional cam gear supports aggressive camshaft profiles and high-horsepower builds.
