George pretty much covered everything that needs to be changed to get rid of the AFM in the L99, assumming that it will be exactly the same as it is in the G8. We currently sell cam packages that delete everything and come with a cam and upgraded valvetrain components as well for the G8, see the upcoming September issue of GM High Tech Performance magazine as one of our custom kits gets tested in a G8GT.
The VVT is going to have an advantage over the engine without it, once the modding starts in my opinion, you can put a pretty big cam in it and by adjusting the cam timing, gain 30-50 lbs of torque down low and make it peaky up top making the lower end of the rpm band pretty much respond like it has a different cam in it. That is why I ordered an automatic, plus we need a test car of course to develop camshaft profiles for this VVT function.
