GPI L99 Camshaft VVT - SS3 VVT (2010 - 2015 Camaro) - SS3VVT
The Ultimate Street/Strip VVT Cam for 5th Gen L99 Camaros
The GPI SS3 VVT Camshaft is the most popular street/strip grind in the GPI L99 VVT lineup - engineered for drivers who want a harder-hitting cam with significantly more torque and horsepower than the SS1 and SS2 VVT profiles. Designed specifically for the 2010 - 2015 Camaro L99, this cam has become a nationwide benchmark for aggressive VVT-equipped builds.
The SS3 VVT is built for enthusiasts who want a serious performance jump while retaining VVT benefits. With strong power to 6900 RPM, an aggressive but manageable idle, and exceptional midrange and top-end pull, this cam is ideal for upgraded street/strip setups running a 3600+ stall converter. It also pairs extremely well with 3.91 rear gearing.
Track-Tested, 10-Second Capable Performance
GPI Cam & Head packages featuring the SS-Series VVT cams have pushed countless 5th Gen L99 Camaros deep into the 10-second quarter-mile. The SS3 VVT thrives in naturally aspirated builds but also performs exceptionally with centrifugal superchargers thanks to its linear power characteristics.
Powerful in N/A or Centrifugal Boosted Builds
Though designed around N/A power curves, the SS3 VVT works beautifully when paired with a centrifugal blower, making it a future-proof upgrade for owners planning to boost later. Expect explosive high-RPM power and a broad, flexible torque curve.
A Four-Cam L99 VVT Lineup
The SS3 VVT sits near the top of GPI's four-cam L99 VVT lineup - above SS1 and SS2, and just below all-out race applications - making it the go-to choice for drivers wanting major performance with streetability.
