What is the most extreme valve lift you've seen on a Type 4 engine?
Thanks in advance. |

I say come up with a plan you think will work and go for it. Even if you come up short you'll learn something.
I would suggest, though, that with regard to street cars way to much emphasis is placed on hp. Because hp is the result of the torque multiplier of rpm's, the very nature of max hp/liter builds implies revs that are not practical for street use. Perhaps consider instead a torque/liter goal for your street car project. See how much of it you can get below 3000. You'll get the same mental excercise in chasing efficiency goals, with the added benefit that even if you fall short you'll end up with a fun street car. Just a thought. |
