Vvt lock or not

This is awesome information and I greatly appreciate you taking time to type it. It is exactly what I am looking for. If this works out well, I might have put one into my 2010 Challenger RT 6spd.

At present I am planning on using the 5.7 intake but I will be running long tube headers.

I don't need big RPM, this is going to be a street car, so basically I am looking for low end performance. Not saying it will never go to 6K+ but it will be rare.
