DOD Delete Kit

What Is a DOD Delete Kit and Why Is It Needed?

A DOD delete kit is designed to remove the factory DOD/AFM system from your engine and replace it with high-performance, non-DOD components. This conversion not only eliminates the risk of lifter collapse but also opens the door to performance upgrades like aftermarket camshafts, enhanced valvetrain components, and increased horsepower.

Specifically, this kit suits both L76 and L77 engines, and includes:

• 1 x LSX Valley Plate Cover
• 1 x LSX Valley Plate Gasket
• 11 x LSX Valley Plate Bolts
• 1 x LSX Valley Plate Rubber Elbow
• 1 x LSX Valley Plate Block Off Rubber
• 16 x Performance Tie Bar Lifters
• 16 x Chrome Moly 7.350 HD Pushrods
• 2 x 6.0L GM Genuine Head Gaskets
• OE Style Head Bolts

The components found in our DOD delete kit allow for the complete removal of DOD hardware and support proper operation with your engine’s new configuration.

The Benefits of Installing a L76 or L77 DOD Delete Kit

Installing a L76 DOD delete kit offers a wide range of benefits for vehicle enthusiasts and mechanics who are looking to get more from their build. Removing DOD reduces the likelihood of lifter failure, which is one of the most common causes of engine misfires and performance loss in these engines.

For those pairing their DOD delete kit with LS3 camshafts or even upgrading to ported LS1 heads, this kit provides the compatibility required for high-horsepower builds.

DOD Delete Kits Built for Performance Builds and Engine Longevity

Whether you’re rebuilding your engine after lifter failure or proactively upgrading to support power gains, a DOD delete kit L77 is a smart investment. It restores all eight cylinders to operate full-time, giving your engine a consistent powerband and eliminating the inconsistent performance associated with cylinder deactivation.

Not only does this help avoid future mechanical issues, but it also improves the engine’s tone, throttle response, and potential for tuning. If you're planning to build an aggressive street machine or a dedicated track car, this upgrade is a must.
