I'm thinking maybe 2275 is a little more than I want. I think if I go that big I would be under-carbeurated and way under-cooled with the stock shroud/tin. Then there is the issue of longevity and cost. I can't imagine there is much left of the case after clearancing it for the crank and big p/c's. I am on a pretty tight budget too. I'll be calling a few places a little later on to see what options I'm looking at. I need some concrete info on what kind of power numbers I can get for a given dollar amount. If anybody would like to suggest a west coast engine builder that would be great. Right now I'm working off of ads in VWTrends and Hot VW's...places likie Scat, GEX and the like. I'll keep you all updated as I learn more about what my options really are. Thanks for the suggestion zen. It was a killer idea I just don't know if it will work out at this point in time.
