I show Vengeance has one:

From what I can tell, it ain't cheap and still uses the factory torque to yield bolt, and needs a "custom cam"?

Katech has one, I do like the normal solid cam bolt... a big plus, and looks like you do need the cover to move the cam sensor so this is 2x more than Vengeance's solution.

an interesting comment on this here:
For eliminating VVT from Gen 5 engines
-Dry sump or wet sump available
-Requires LS3 single-bolt, 4x cam sprocket and bolt KAT-6990 (READ BELOW)

IMPORTANT NOTE: the Gen IV sprocket that Katech recommends for their front cover retards the cam 8 degrees compared to the Gen V phaser

KATECH CAM SHAFT TIMING GEAR (KAT-7011) MUST BE INSTALLED USING UPDATED DOWEL HOLE AND UPDATED TIMING MARK WHEN USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH KAT-6913 OR KAT-6914 GEN 5 VVT-DELETE TIMING COVERS. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN POOR ENGINE PERFORMANCE AND MAY RESULT IN SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE. KATECH IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FROM ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY OCCUR.

Are there any other lockout solutions, I mean how hard cam a gear and solid bolt be?
