Yep - read the aircooled.net articles

down the bottom of the above link click on "Tech Articles"
there is a wealth of articles there

read those first, get an idea of what you want, have a stab at what you can afford, ask heaps of questions - then jump in the deep end! :P

just spent the last 2 hrs reading allof the info. wow i never thought there was so many factors to consider. i think that first i will get a nice set of heads and then get a big bore kit.
wat is the best size to go im running mine in a baja bug?
where should i bye these products from?
is there anything i should no before doing any of these mods?
wat were the first and best mods that you have done to your engine?
thanx heaps
