Lol well you should be working for GPI. You'd sell a lot of cams! I tried sending him (rhino) a pm a few days ago and haven't got a response. Is there a better way for me to contact him?

2ss black · 01-03-2017, 11:46 PM

Why are you scared of a converter? If I were doing it over I'd go ss3 or ss4 and I daily drive. As John said as long as you check the oil you're good.

I am considering a SS1 only because I want to keep my stock converter until I put on a whipple or heartbeat. Don't want to have restall or do that twice. I've also heard a SS1 will work with a blower so that means I only have to cam it once.

Probably better off doing it all at once and then having a cam spec'd for the roots blower. Would save money in labor install and would run smoother with the right converter stall speed.

I will be installing the cam myself. I also have no intention on stalling the trans until I put on the blower hence the leaning towards the SS1.

I talked with Aaron at GPI and now I am waiting for the UPS van to bring me a VVT SS3 Cam, Ported heads, and Modified manifold and then remote tuning. I also bought a Yank 2800 stall converter. This should go well with my RotoFab CAI, Bo White ported throttle body, Doug Thourley tri-y long tube headers, and Solo exhaust.

I thought the ss3 needed more converter?

Most people do run a 3800 stall. I chose the 2800 partly because I bought the converter form another member for a great price. I am not drag racing the car and putting on slicks to get it to hook up and trying to get the lowest et I can. I am going to be driving it on the street. The lower stall will also help keep the trans temp down. The SS3 cam power band starts at 3000. I am hoping the 2800 stall will get the car to start moving and then come into the power band and go instead of just lighting up the tires.

I ran SS3 with a 3200 CD before I went to the ~3800 I have now. It was easier to hook on a street tire (at the expense of 1/4 ET).

Davidd_SS · 01-10-2017, 12:08 PM

The SS1 is a great cam, by far one of the best for an L99. however, chances are you will end up getting a converter in the future for it. SS2, SS3 are also really good choices. Start a tire fund for the SS1 with a stock converter haha
