Small update, I changed my cam gear (I thought I left one of the chain guide bolts loose so I opened it back up again to the tune of another 3hrs of gasket scraping lol) and ran a 1000 mile round trip to tougefest with about 4 hrs of full powerband use and after about 1500 miles on the new cam gear, the ILVs are still exactly the same. I was hoping they would slowly budge upward but I don't think they will and I'll probably have to swap the ecu to fully get rid of the problem. I'm further convinced (though still a theory) that the cam gear related camshaft correlation code is a single event failure and may not necessarily be indicative of a faulty cam gear.

Relatedly, we just got our Dyno fully operational so I'm going to throw the 86 on there before the ecu and tune to see if having a "permanent stored" p0016 code and no pending or thrown codes still limits VVT operation as has been stated a few other places.
