Amsoil Euro (AFL) hasn't shown to perform appreciably any better than 505.01 oils from what I've seen on TDIClub UOAs. If you like products from that blender from Superior WI, I would heartily recommend DEO over it.
And if you want to 'zero time' the cam, there's a vendor on TDIClub you should get in touch with - Franko6 - as he can provide an entire repair kit in a box, including all the fasteners (OEM stretch bolts or aftermarket engineered non-stretch bots), cam bearing shells, OEM or aftermarket camshaft. IIRC, Colt Cams analyzed the cam profile on the BRM cam and found the base circle transition was too aggressive and now they have both regrinds & billet cams that have corrected that issue - Frank stocks both. I'm not a customer or an associate, but I've seen him at work flow balancing & pop testing injectors and his work is excellent.
