I know I resurrecting an old thread, but for any of you that were looking at VVL delete (either for racing purposes or for not wanting to repair) I am curious if anyone has run VVL delete for any period of time. If so, what were the effects on performance? Has anyone successfully manged to turn off VVL on MSV80 and run in other than limp mode?

I've built a frankenstein engine.... It is an N54 bottom with a N52 head. I'm ready to assemble and I considering machining out VVL on the N52. Basically, it would become a better flowing N53 head with port injection. It is going to run a GTX 3582R turbo. I don't think I want the headache of VVL. I would like to hear from anyone on the ability to delete VVL, or whether you think deleting is a mistake.
