We hope to see Wheeler and his Camaro at the upcoming LS Fest East event in Bowling Green, KY. “She has a little more left in her on the current setup, maybe two or three tenths in better DA,” Wheeler quips. Not to sit on his laurels, Wheeler is confident the car has more in it. Has a GPI SS4 No Flycut cam with supporting mods, Vararam intake, TSP long tube headers with careless pipes, 2.5 pipes with x-pipe and Spintech mufflers. Although, he already has plans in motion for the next round of modifications. With a world record and multiple class wins under his belt, Wheeler believes there are still two or three tenths to be gained with his current combination. He’s been able to capture championships at Camaro Fest in the NA SBE class and the Stick Shift Shootout class.
#GPI SS4 NO FLYCUT MANUAL#
This makes Wheeler and his Camaro the fastest naturally aspirated manual 5th Gen in the world. To date, he has gone as fast as 10.92 seconds in the quarter mile at 121.96 miles an hour. On the dyno with tuning by GPI, Wheeler’s combination makes 572 and 468 lb-ft of torque at the wheels. He went with the 15×10 Race Star Recluse wheels out back and mounted Hoosier 29×11-15 slicks to get the Camaro to hook. Wheeler opted for polished Race Star 92 Drag Star wheels in the front that measure 18×5 and roll on 185/50R18 M&H Racemaster tires.
#GPI SS4 NO FLYCUT PRO#
To help bring the Camaro to a halt, Strange Pro Series II rotors and calipers handle things in the rear while the stock Brembo brakes remain up front.
#GPI SS4 NO FLYCUT INSTALL#
Wheeler did install BMR upper and lower control arms in the rear along with BMR’s rear Xtreme Anti Roll Bar and Strange double adjustable coilover shocks. Following the recipe of keeping things simple and reliable, most of the suspension was left as is from General Motors. The factory manual transmission has been upgraded with a McLeod RXT Twin Disc clutch and MGW Flat Stick short throw shifter. Somewhat surprisingly, Wheeler is still running the stock IRS rearend and axles. He always looks forward to Camaro Fest at Beech Bend Raceway Park in Bowling Green, KY, the most. This camshaft makes 93 flywheel HP more than the factory LS3 camshaft We recommend a minimum stall speed of 3,600 RPM for this camshaft in auto-equipped vehicles. The cam will pull really hard from 4,500 RPM up to the 6,600 RPM HP peak. I'm trying to find the time to move to the SS4 NFC, will try to do it before CamaroFest. This camshaft is designed for all-out power and shows gains over the stock camshaft beginning at 3,100 RPM. My car would go 10's with just a drag pack and no other weight reduction. When I went 10.90 I had 17x7 fronts and 17' slicks on back, seats out and trunk empty. So hoping to get into the low 11s maybe 10s with whatever cam I go with.Wheeler has raced his Camaro in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, and Kentucky. I've been running the smaller GPI VVT SS3 (227/243), and daily my car. I have a dedicated drag setup (bias ply) and have shed some weight. Power wise is what I meant by saying they are stock. It's just to say that you can't just stab one of these cams in and expect to run 10s, there are a lot of other complimentary things to consider to get into those numbers on a NA SBE setup.Ī lot of that is why I lean towards the GPI team. That's not to take anything away from them, it's a BIG accomplishment. It's exceedingly rare to see it with stick cars, although a few have done it. They all have significant weight reduction, dedicated drag wheel/tire setups, big converters, and some have gone as far as to swap to the TH400 to get these cars that fast on the kind of power a stock bottom end car can make. I'm not sure that any of these guys running 10s with their NA stock bottom end cars can really be considered "stock". That combination of expertise and truly top notch service gets my nod every time. Not a shot at TSP, but I don't know if anybody has done more studying and tweaking of LS3 cam timing (within the realm of stock PTVC max effort) than Ryan Stevens. GPI has a really nice cam lobe that does a good job of being aggressive without totally thrashing the valve-train. The SS4 NFC is definitely a little bigger stick, and truly represents the very edge of a max effort cam (with respect to PTVC) you can stab into an LS3 without pulling the heads. GPI SS4 no fly cut vs TSP stage 4 f35 cam.
