g8 afm vvt cam swap hi everyone as you can tell by the post counter this is my first post on ls1 tech. i am planning on doing a cam swap on a 09 g8 gt for a freind of mine and had a few questions. i will be replacing the cam, installing non dod lifters and trays, pushrods, valve springs, and i also have the non dod valley cover, a 4x 3 bolt cam gear, non dod oil pump, and a non vvt timing cover ls3 if i remember correctly. i will be tuning out dod and vvt asap. i have done several ls1 cam swaps on camaros and vettes, and my lt1 camaro butall were non afm and non vvt. i was hoping someone could help me out and tell me if they think i am missing somthing. normally i would not be concerned but this is my buddys only transportation and i need to get it done in one day so he can get to work on monday. so if i am overlooking somthing i would really like ti know. any help or sugestions would be much appreciated.
get a VVT cam from comp, tune the DoD out and gain 70hp. If you lose the VVT you'll lose a ton of low-end.. keep it to gain high-end and keep/gain low-end.
Just my $0.02...
also, afaik, VVT cams are cheaper. Look at the Comp XFI VVT line and look at the power gains.

ive already got a cam, while i cant recall the specs off the top of my head i know its too agressive for vvt. thanks for the input though.
my main concern is if i have all the parts ready to go to delete the vvt.
