Jake:

Thanks for the heads up on hot v. cold issue when measuring camshaft deviations. I remeasured them this afternoon with the engine hot. Here's what I found

Engine temperature: 98.3 C
Oil temperature: 82.5 C
RPMs: 710
Camshaft deviation bank 1: -5.83 degrees (rock steady)
Camshaft deviation bank 2: -5.72 degrees (rock steady)
Camshaft actual angle bank 1: -0.19 degrees
Camshaft actual angle bank 2: -0.19 degrees

At 3980 RPMs, both camshaft deviation numbers remained rock steady with exactly the same values they had at 710 RPMs. The actual camshaft angles changed when the variocams kicked in: bank 1 was at 23.11 and bank 2 was at 22.95.

What would you suggest I look at next.

Thanks
