[dirteeboy808]

whoops can't be used with VVL..sorry still learning the SR...so it shouldn't affect the VTC, what about adjustable cam gears?

VTC will be eliminated if you change the factory intake side cam gear with an adjustable cam gear.

so putting the adj. cam gear on the intake side loses the VTC, but putting the rocker arm stoppers, won't?

It shouldnt, the RAS has absolutely nothing to do with the cam sprockets. Only thing is you will have to modify your valve cover. There will be a piece inside that youll have to cut out so the valvecover will seat properly.

NO :) NEVER NOT

The oiling holes should all be in place on the RAS to all flow to the oiling rails above the cams.

So you mean the RAS should fit w/o grinding the valve cover? Weird, Tomei I think requires the installer to remove a piece of the VC

Rocker arm stoppers won't have any effect on VTC. I used Tomei RAS and I did have to cut/grind out a small piece of the inside on my valve cover.
