LS3 pistons in L92 with VVT Alright i'm hoping someone can shed light on this for me. Longstory short, I want to put LS3 pistons in my L92, is there any reason this can't be done while retaining VVT? Was this the purpose for the valve reliefs on L92 pistons?

The L92 cam is pretty mild... I wouldn't be surprised if you could get away with flat-tops and not run into any PTV issues... I would still probably punch some numbers into a PTV calculator with the cam at full retard, straight up, and full advance... that should give you a pretty good idea of what you're working with. KCS has forgotten more than I will ever know, so definitely take anything I say with a grain of salt.
I like the L92 cam, actually, and would like to see what it can do in a 4.8/5.3 with some 1.85 rockers... assuming that somehow doesn't make a valve clip the block... but I highly doubt that would be the case with 198/209 .545/.545 115(?) cam, regardless of where it may be in its VVT phasing.
