GPI LS7 Cam - SS1 LS7 (2010 - 2015 Camaro Z/28 | 2014 - 2019 C7 Corvette Z06) - LS7STG1.1
Mild-Idle, Strong-Pulling Performance Cam for LS7
The GPI SS1 LS7 Camshaft is engineered for LS7 owners who want a noticeable bump in performance without sacrificing drivability. Designed for cars with minimal modifications, the SS1 delivers a mild performance idle, smooth low-speed behavior, and a strong, linear power curve from off-idle to 7000 RPM.
Please note: This is a high-lift, 3-bolt LS7 cam. Installation requires .660? dual valve springs and hardened pushrods.
Street-Friendly Cam with Proven LS7 Gains
Thanks to GPI's refined lobe profiles, the SS1 LS7 cam offers quiet valvetrain operation and long-term durability. It is ideal for drivers who want improved midrange punch, better throttle response, and a more exciting exhaust note without crossing into aggressive race cam behavior.
LS7 Cam Series Overview
GPI LS7 camshafts have earned a reputation as the go-to performance upgrade for 5th Gen Camaro Z/28 and C7 Z06 builds. Designed with naturally aspirated engines in mind - but equally effective with centrifugal superchargers - these cams maintain excellent top-end power while preserving drivability.
The SS1 represents the most street-mannered option in the lineup, offering clean idle quality with strong performance gains. Higher stages are available for more aggressive NA or track-focused applications.
