this guy appraently already had an M800 from previous cars, so it wasn't a huge extra expense lol

you'd then run into the issue that ITB's are built to flow at high RPM's for the most part, and the stock cam profile MAY not support that, and since you've already dropped the money on an ECU and ITB's (and head work to get the ITB's to line up and flow perfectly).. may as well get cams since it's barely any more
oh.. look at that price >_<

locking valvetronic to max lift is actually a physical metal plate in place. it's probably the easiest part from what i can research.
