How To Lock Out Timing Using A HEMI VVT Elimination Kit Hardware

Modern Dodge builders often hit a wall when they test the limits of the factory VVT system. High-horsepower applications destroy stock valvetrains, and pushing massive numbers through factory components usually causes immediate mechanical timing issues and severe tuning headaches. To avoid these kinds of issues, Engine Pro has just released the new HEMI VVT Elimination Kit to give mechanics total command over engine timing.

The setup completely replaces the factory phaser with a solid one-piece billet-steel camshaft sprocket. This package fits several late-model Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, and RAM platforms. It covers 2009 to 2023 5.7-liter blocks, 2015 to 2023 6.2-liter engines, and 2011 to 2023 6.4-liter applications. Swapping out the variable-timing hardware produces consistent power delivery on the street and the track. Designers built the HEMI VVT Elimination Kit around a keyed nine-way crank system. Permitting up to four degrees of advance or four degrees of retard, this configuration allows tuners to make accurate, permanent mechanical adjustments.

Engine Pro packs the box with heavily upgraded components to support the fixed timing swap. The kit includes a heat-treated billet steel crank sprocket alongside a matching oil pump drive sprocket. A fine-finish inverted-tooth link belt timing chain ties the entire internal assembly together. Engine Pro also provides a fresh tensioner and chain guide, though buyers must source their own mounting hardware, gaskets, and thrust bearings to finish the final installation. 

Listed directly as a performance grade product under the Engine Pro’s active ordering catalog, the company made sure that its a one-part-number replacement, which can deliver greater reliability, easier tuning, and consistent performance.

Dropping a large camshaft into a modern block demands some serious modifications to the supporting valvetrain. Mechanics running performance builds with more aggressive cam profiles need absolute reliability at high engine speeds. Installing an Engine Pro HEMI VVT Elimination Kit removes the weak links associated with shifting valve events. This direct parts swap lets custom engine tuners dial in maximum horsepower without fighting the factory computer software.
