I'm certainly no authority on the subject, but the only negative aspect to AFM I've heard reported is an awkward exhaust note when the system is engaged.
It was first introuced on the Cadillac sixteen, it had 4,8,16, and 1000hp. The engine was just for testing upcoming tech particularly cylinder deactivation. Although it was a fully operational engine they stuffed it in a Suburban with a hell of a lot of effort. It's too bad they didn't build that caddy though, the sixteen would have put everything to shame period.
