Wow, great information! Hmm, you mean me and Leon are the ONLY two people who push our gas pedals like they were a light switch? ;) Right after I bought my (used) Jetta from the stealership I replaced engine and tranny oils with synthetic and realized an increase of 5hp (average) and .5 second off my 0-60mph timing. I'm a firm believer of synthetic lubricants...right volks? :) See the bottom of this page on how I obtained my results: http://www.icbm.org/erkson/personal/mycars/jettastats.htm What does "IR" mean for your carb calculation? I read a small portion of the dynamic compression thread but it's honestly too, too long and someone should condense it. I'd like to know more about the theory, sounds quite interesting and applicable to all cars (hmmm, what about rotaries? ;) Thanks for the info!!
