Overview

It is a popular choice for hardcore street/strip enthusiasts, offering more torque and horsepower than SS1 and SS2 VVT cams. This naturally aspirated camshaft is strong to 6900 RPM.
Show original supplier description
The Gwatney Performance SS3 camshaft is a hydraulic roller camshaft specifically designed for naturally aspirated Gen III and Gen IV LS engines. This is the brand's most popular street/race camshaft, engineered to provide superior torque and horsepower gains compared to their SS1 and SS2 VVT camshafts. It is performance-tuned to remain strong up to 6900 RPM, making it an excellent choice for the dedicated street/strip enthusiast. To fully leverage its capabilities, a 3600+ RPM torque converter is required, and it performs exceptionally well with 3.91 gearing. The camshaft is compatible with rectangular port head LS applications. This camshaft is intended for use in street and race environments. While the product page does not detail specific year or model exclusions, it's important to ensure compatibility with your specific Gen III/Gen IV LS engine configuration.
