GPI LS7 Cam - SS2 LS7 (2010 - 2015 Camaro Z/28 | 2014 - 2019 C7 Corvette Z06) - LS7STG2.1
Moderate-Idle, Hard-Hitting Midrange Camshaft for LS7 Engines
The GPI SS2 LS7 Camshaft is engineered for enthusiasts who want a more aggressive character than the SS1 while retaining excellent drivability. With a moderate performance idle, strong midrange punch, and an extended top-end pull up to 7200 RPM, this cam offers serious performance gains for naturally aspirated and centrifugal-blown LS7 applications.
Please note: This is a high-lift, 3-bolt LS7 cam requiring .660? dual valve springs and hardened pushrods. Increased compression is recommended for optimal results.
More Power Up Top Without Sacrificing Torque
The SS2 LS7 rivals the low-end and midrange torque of the SS1 but adds notable horsepower gains in the upper RPM band. Its valve events and ramp design support aggressive airflow while still keeping valvetrain stability and reliability in check.
LS7 Cam Series Overview
GPI LS7 cams have become the industry standard for 5th Gen Camaro Z/28 and C7 Corvette Z06 performance builds. Known for their power, consistency, and clean RPM behavior, these cams deliver exceptional results in both NA and centrifugal supercharged combinations.
The SS2 sits in the middle of the lineup - more aggressive than the SS1 but still far more street-friendly than full race profiles. It's the ideal option for drivers wanting a stronger top-end without stepping into extreme cam behavior.
