GPI L99 Camshaft VVT - SS1 VVT (2010 - 2015 Camaro) - SS1VVT
The Benchmark VVT Camshaft for 5th Gen L99 Camaro Performance
The GPI SS1 VVT Camshaft is the most proven and popular upgrade for the 2010 - 2015 L99 Camaro, delivering outstanding street manners, strong torque, and impressive top-end performance - all while retaining full VVT functionality. This cam has become the benchmark for L99-powered 5th Gen Camaros nationwide thanks to its smooth idle, exceptional drivability, and track-tested gains.
Designed to work with the factory torque converter, the SS1 VVT offers stable idle quality (around 675 RPM), excellent low-end response, and strong pull all the way through 6600 RPM. Whether you're building a street car or a street/strip setup, this is the ideal entry into high-lift L99 cams.
Proven 10-Second Capable Performance
GPI Cam & Head packages have pushed countless L99 Camaros deep into the 10-second range. Backed by real-world racing and dyno development, the SS1 VVT provides the perfect combination of reliability, power, and drivability.
Naturally Aspirated or Centrifugal Boost Compatible
Although engineered with N/A performance in mind, this camshaft also performs extremely well under centrifugal superchargers thanks to its linear airflow characteristics. It's a great option if you're naturally aspirated now but planning to add boost later.
