Good point as most certified engines are not hopped up but detuned for
reliability.

I too belive that when you change things in your engine from stock.Like
changing pistons,cranks,rods,etc...you do increase HP.and may B more
speed..BUT...having sand rails that when I changed things for more
power,and HP..yes that is true..BUT down the road you will pay for it..I
found out in the long run..there was alot of reliability problems,,and
all ways working on them VW engines.and then when they broke down they
would cost even more to fix them..All so they would break down at the
darnest times.when you did not want then to..Like when going up a steep
hill..OH no the engine just blew up...this has happen many times...so
after all of that.messing with thoese VW engines..now I do not change
engines any more .I leave them stock...my life means more that a little
extra HP..and all so now I do not have to keep working on them either..a
lot more reliability..Just my thoughts on the matter...Steve Shinabery
