Texas Speed Gen 5 LT Timing Cover - Wet Sump, VVT Delete KIT

Texas Speed Gen 5 LT VVT Delete Timing Cover Kit – 3-Bolt Conversion

Available in Wet or Dry Sump – Required for Converting Your Gen 5 LT to a 3-Bolt Cam Setup

The Texas Speed Gen 5 LT VVT Delete Kit is designed for serious performance builds looking to eliminate the factory Variable Valve Timing system and convert to a stronger, more reliable 3-bolt camshaft configuration. This system replaces the factory phaser setup with a fixed timing arrangement, improving reliability and consistency in high-performance and boosted applications.

Sump Configuration Options

• Wet Sump – Standard for most street and performance builds
• Dry Sump – Required for dry sump oiling systems

Select the correct sump type for your engine before ordering.

What’s Included

• Texas Speed Gen 5 LT VVT Delete Timing Cover (Wet or Dry Sump)
• TSP 3-Bolt Billet Upper Timing Gear (4x Reluctor)
• ARP Camshaft Bolts

Key Features

• Eliminates VVT System – Removes failure-prone phaser components
• 3-Bolt Camshaft Conversion – Stronger, more reliable cam mounting design
• 4x Reluctor Compatibility – Designed for Gen 5 LT platforms
• Boost & Performance Ready – Ideal for high-horsepower and forced induction builds
• Reduces Installation Errors – Eliminates issues with VVT cam pin alignment

Why Delete VVT?

VVT works well for stock engines, but becomes less effective with larger camshafts and can create instability in high-performance builds. In boosted applications, VVT can force unwanted cam timing changes under load, reducing performance. A fixed 3-bolt setup provides consistent timing, improved durability, and better overall power delivery.

Important Notes

• Requires a 3-bolt camshaft – Factory single-bolt VVT cams are NOT compatible
• This system is designed as a matched setup with TSP 3-bolt camshaft configurations
• Incorrect cam/gear combinations will result in improper cam timing
• Recommended to pair with a TSP DOD/AFM Delete Kit (sold separately)

Recommended Pairings

• TSP Gen 5 LT1 / L86 6.2L 3-Bolt Cam Kit
• TSP L83 5.3L 3-Bolt Cam Kit
• TSP Gen 5 DOD/AFM Delete Kit

This kit is the required foundation for converting your Gen 5 LT to a proper 3-bolt camshaft setup—pair it with the correct cam kit and DOD delete to complete your build.
