2. The LS2 timing cover has nothing to do with deleting the DoD.
3. Why get a drop-in cam and then change valve springs? If you're going to be changing springs, why not get a more capable cam?

The three bolts applies to how the sprocket bolts to the cam and has nothing to do with the cover.
DOD relates to the cam, lifters, and valley cover ONLY.
VVT is related to the cam, sprocket, and front cover ONLY.
The front cover is changed ONLY when converting FROM VVT to non-VVT.

If he is changing from VVT to "normal", then yes a "normal" non-VVT cover is needed. A 3-bolt conversion is not what necessitates that however. 1-bolt cam non-VVT engines have the "normal" cover, and when switching them to 3-bolt cam, no cover change is needed.
And no, I don't do this for a living. I have studied LS engines for the last 4 years until I know just about every nut and bolt on them.
BTW, ALL VVT cams are single bolt whether aftermarket or not. They use the central single bolt to pump oil into the phaser.
