Cam choice?
As of now i have cai, ported tb, long tubes no cats, x pipe and axle back. 2010 ls3. I was looking at gpi ss2 and ss3 cam kits but not sure which to go with. I only drive the car when its nice out and mostly just beat on it. Im not looking for dyno numbers, i want the real world power!!!

You will see how a smaller cam pulls away first at road legal speeds, but the larger cam pulls away once you hit freeway speeds and higher. Hope that helps a bit. |

I just asked a similar question, emailed gpi. They talked me into the ss3 over the 2. Talked to PSJ on here too and it sounds like it's fine for daily driving. Gotta get a pretty expensive torque converter to run it tho

Picking up a used set of heads that i will do a little home porting on, and yes i have done several port jobs. It might not be as good as the pros, but it is free hp!!!. Then i will put my stockers on an lq4 build im doing.

I did the tsp vvt 2 as my first cam and always wanted more power. Ended up adding the ss4 last summer since gpi didn't have a line out back then. Go bigger cause you'll def want more power

My main question between cams was more depending on that have the 6 speed. Since launching these cars is such a pain in the ass. It would be nice to be able to put 15's and slicks on, but im not going to spend that kind of money for that.
