VeeDub, that can totally be done. You just need the right cam and valvetrain to pull it off... Granted for the money you might as well build a bigger engine at the same time.

Aerodynamics, yes. Granted I am really at a blank on what can help a Beetle much?

Lighter weight, yes. The Lexan windows are a cheap way to loose some weight.

As for motor work = Turbo. more torque and power from the same size engine. Fuel injection as well to help maker the engine efficient.

Gears perhaps?
