Personally, I'd find it simpler to leave the VVT in. The computer is already setup to control it, and it's already there. Why tear into a motor and forfeit the benefits of VVT? If you have a cam swap in your future, it would be easy to remove it at that time, if you wish.
My plan is to keep VVT on my LY6. I'll be installing a Mast VVT cam later on; hard to pass up a strong bottom end and still being able to rev it out and make gobs of power. I've heard the LY6 will crank out about 410HP with headers and a tune. I'm also planning on running a 6L80E. I'll be doing my harness through Speartech, as they have experience with tuning the E38 ECMs and 6L80E transmission computers. The primary reason I want the 6L over the 4L is the gear ratios. My truck currently has 3.08s out back, and I'd rather not change them out. With the 6L, I have that deep ~4:1 first gear to get me moving, but I'll have an awesome cruise RPM with the double ODs and 3.08s. I *may* gear up to a 3.23 if I don't find the combination pleasing off the line.
