If your going to go for a VVT cam swap? Ditch the AFM
I dont want to turn this into a sidetrack debate about AFM ( sometimes called DOD ) but considering the many failures that AFM causes even on bone stock engines i feel it worth the mention.
Google over active lifters and read to your hearts content. The failures are much worse with performance cam shaft installs

Another good VVT read
PTV checking with VVT cam - LS1TECH
Now if only we could get some good VVT tuning info we could get one hell of a VVT reference thread.

After messing a TON with tuning VVT there is more than one way to skin that cat.
In the end we tuned it with zero'd out VVT as if were a normal cam. Then added in our latest phase profile ( ive had 20 in there at least ) and as of now i still need to get it on the dyno so we can see whats working and whats not but it sure runs good. Been driving it every single nice day we've had all year.
Roasted the **** out of an SLS with only 2 gears hehehee

If I cam mine, it WILL be a VVT cam. In any performance application, I have no love for AFM, but there is a guy here getting some amazing mileage numbers with a well-tuned 5.3 CCSB by taking advantage of the AFM tables. Once again, that would be for a truck as a daily driver and not so much for maximum performance. I'm glad my L9H doesn't have AFM.
