This old post just goes to show how things have developed over time and knowledge on here. My first Camaro was a 2011 2ss/rs triple black vert with the l99. Yes you can feel it LAG, yes it is proven over time the lifters are more prone to failure on the AFM lifters, yes you can disable it with a Harness or tune, and yes GM is not the only company using this technology and it will only expand in the future with the NEW CAFE corporate average fuel economy standards coming out in 2017 to really screw the pooch.

Thank god the Big government can shove things down our throat!
Maybe it will backfire eventually and they will let technology drive fuel economy not their stupid interference? NAH, never happen remember nylon timing gears? The change of the Chevelle to the Laguna s-3 for aerodynamics, the plastic thermoquad, a million examples of trying to comply with nasty regulation. That will require though a whole generation of vehicles to be built now though that eventually increase the gas mileage by 5 MPG per year for the whole fleet,( trucks excepted some) until they get to about 55 mpg.

And they will do anything to meet the requirements put on them so get ready for any tech they can strap, any weight they can loose and any power they can rob being more and more pronounced making vehicles more inline with driving a friggin MINI cooper and a 3 banger GEO METRO.....And be prepared for the reliability to go down.

Just so people know: it is good to eliminate AFM, its lifters should be thrown in a dumpster..... http://www.bing.com/search?q=AFM+pro...conversationid=

And it has caused problems with cylinder deactivation on other brands and the tech it takes to really make it work costs more, and of course makes costs go up and the future is stupid..........and more complex ..... so much it makes brains cells want to explode... LOL Because big government knows what best for you: its for you to give them all your money... That way they control you better. Imagine a candidate saying I want to take all your v-8s and make them v-4s !!!! I want to take your luxury and make you ride a little crap can around because it does not bother me!!! As I have money!!!

Imagine people protesting a Oil rig going out to do exploratory drilling and its being blocked by protestors dangling from bridges built from steel harvested and forged and transported and erected using oil, on Cables made from petroleum products, dressed in clothes made from petroleum products, eating food they would not have if it was not for oil, driving there with their Kayak,( made from oil products), for their buddy to harass the ship using oil, and made from oil products:( every thing they use is made from it or has impact on the availability and cost), so they can be hypocrites..... KEEPING PORTLAND WEIRD....
Yes that's the kind of crap we here in My states capitol watch on the news and shake our heads, as the tail wags the dog and so is our country....

Its time for a change....LOL HELP! The Donald? meh
