Start by making sure that all of the basic stuff is working correctly. Buy the Bentley manual. Nothing will make your car into a dog worse than a mech advance mechanism that is not working. Check the dwell, timing and valve lash. Make sure that the voltage regulator is regulating at ~14V with the engine warm and at med RPM. Decide how much more power you want. Check your wallet. [Speed costs money. How fast do you want to go?] Buy "How to Hot Rod the VW Engine" by Bill Fisher. Study it. Consider the following: free flow exhaust, porting the heads (4 angle valve job,) counterweighted crank, full flow oil filter. Don't waste too much time reading Hot VWs. Most of the articles in there are written just to separate you from your money and the advice there is generally poor. Welcome to the list. Keep asking questions. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
