:bigpimp:

That compression is wierdly low (I'm guessing to combat added heat of a higher compression), also 430 lift? How is that? Lightweight lifters is not nessasarly a good thing. A lot of hi performance cars use solid lifters which are not considered light.

The car sounds really cool and custom, maybe these things are a little out of my perseption of a typical performance engine.

Damn straight, your car is more than welcome.

Anything signed for manufacture by VW AG is good to go.

That car was in the world of wheels a few years ago wasn't it?

Maybe like 6 years ago, but I'm sure it was there.
