EMPI takes the guesswork out of matching a cam to its lifters and gear. The Deluxe GT-7 Camshaft Kit (77-3101-0) bundles the GT-7 profile with the exact lifters, gear, and hardware it was designed to run with — so your build or rebuild goes together right the first time.

Features

• EMPI GT-7 camshaft — new chilled cast-iron billet, Parkerized for trouble-free break-in, stroker-clearanced out of the box
• 8 phosphate-treated 28mm convex-face lifters in heat-treated 4130 chromoly, matched to the GT-7 lobe taper
• CNC-machined T6 aluminum cam gear for accurate timing
• Grade 8 hardware, timing card, and assembly lube included
• Maximum lift race profile (designed for 1.4:1 rockers) — strip and competition

Cam Card

• Valve lift: .538" @ 1.4:1 rocker ratio
• Cam lift (gross): .384"
• Advertised duration: 295°

Fitment

CONFIRMED: VW air-cooled Type 1, Type 2 (pre-1971), and Type 3 engines, 1200-1600cc — Beetle, Super Beetle, Karmann Ghia, Bus (pre-71), Type 3, Thing, Buggy, Baja. Use a ZDDP oil or additive on break-in, as with any flat-tappet cam. NOT CONFIRMED: 1971-and-later Type 2 and Type 4 / 914 (different cam/case), engines needing a stock-replacement-only profile. This is a race profile — it requires 1.4:1 rockers, matching valve springs, and carburetion to run correctly.
