We're Smokin The Tires  
A very interesting bit of "just in case" info. A nice thing to know is the valve adj screw is .040 per full revolution. Divide to get useful "lash". 1/8 turn is .005" for example.

Contact Pat  When building a high performance VW engine, there are quite a few options available. I prefer an 82mm stroker crank. More power at lower RPMs. Less wear on engine. No doubt in my mind that the heads you choose will decipher how much horsepower your engine makes.  Of course the cam is a huge player in the power game also. I run dual 44 Webers. Burns a bit of fuel  but the power is nice. I make use of an oil filter too. Motor uses a 'doghouse' oil cooler and an external cooler with a big electric fan . Using an extra 1.5 quart oil sump to help Keep things cool. Cooling is critical. Heat is the enemy. With all the extra goodies, the 2276cc beast holds 7 quarts of oil.
