Internal combustion is not exactly rocket
science. You can liken a stock VW engine to a fellow
who is suffering from constipation. Open up the exhaust
and all is good to take in more. If not you will
need an enema to get all the "crap" out... :). Anyone
who would increase carburetion as much as I plan,
without first looking to increase exhaust flow, is
setting themselves up for disappointment. JAKE Raby
did not instruct me that increased carburetion, alone,
would vastly improve performance. The man knows his
stuff far too well and is to respectful to pass off
that old "VW Magazine" rhetoric on anyone. It's quite
simple. More intake needs more exhaust. I'm safe to
say upgrading to twin dual-throat carbs along with
a well flowing exhaust and proper ignition tuning would increase HP numbers slightly more than 5HP and I don't know about you, but i'm quite positive that on a 65HP engine, even 5 extra ponies would be very noticable. I love a good debate, hate an arguement.
Let's keep it real and remember even if it does get heated at times, it's all for the betterment of our cars.
