Take a type four anyday over anything though. A radiator in a bug is just...wrong.

All depends on the porting of the engine. Mine would pull smoothly from about 2'000 rpm but the real fun would happen at higher rpm's. I would launch the car at 5,000 to 5,500 rpm's on dry-rotted tires and smoke whatever rice I was racing. It would pull very hard untill the ignition was cut at 8,600 rpm's. Then it blew up.
