Default Cam timing with VVT/VCT

I have a st170 engine with throttle bodies and piper BP300 cams with timings of 38-66 60-32 and duration of 284in 272ex. Full lift is at 104deg after and before tdc.

I would like to keep the VVT to have more torque low down but I am not sure if this is possible. The ecu I intend to get is the Emerald K3 but that only has the VVT fully on or off, so that means the inlet cam will be either at 85deg atdc or 145deg atdc. That's a massive range so I phoned piper to ask their opinion or to see if they knew if they would be ok or whether there would be too much advance/retard of the cam and would make no power. But I got this

'They might work we don't know.'
so I asked if they knew the standard ford timings so I could compare
'Yes we do but we can't disclose that information to you.'
right, great help.

So....do any of you know if it will be ok? Or any opinions?
