Turbo/Supercharger and AFM

Would having twin turbos on an AFM car cause any issues?

My L99 didn't like the combination of the Magnacharger and the factory L99 camshaft. Power was abrupt and felt mismatched. I am not sure how different turbos would be.

Was it the AFM that was causing the issue or the cam profile?

It was 50% hard to say at the time, and now 50% I don't remember. It may have been a combination of both.

I would think you'd have to tune it out at the minimum and a better cam or LS3 conversion would probably give more bang for your buck with turbos.
