You should have no problems at all using the VAFC to tune. Overall, its a pretty basic setup. Good choice getting rid of the stock GSR intake manifold!

does the vafc have a feature to bypass the factory rev-limiter?

i'm sure those cams are going to want to go past 8000rpm... and you've got the bottom to handle it. oh yeah, get an ignition too.

it will make power just fine, but to take full advantage of those cams, you will want to rev a lot higher than stock limiter.

nevermind, I didn't see the r ecu, you could still go higher, but 8700 is better than 8200

I wouldn't go higher on that bottom end combo. You are using stock heavy pieces. Unbalnced bottom end is not worth revving high. You can make some very streetable power with that, and it will make a great daily driver. Have fun.
