   The rocker/chip kit give similar power, but you still have the
 headgasket issue.
   The Eurospec engine set up eliminates that.

   I'll be doing the Dyno run ASAP and then posting the results on my web
 site.  I'll post to the list that the info is there too.

   Let me know if I can give you any more info on either of these topics?

Thanks for the info Kyle.  Cool conversion kit coming up for all vanagon
owners. For right now, I'm sold on the chip-rocker and K&N filter upgrade for
my syncro. I couldn't care less if a head gasket were to leak, it costs me
just the parts, free labor. ( I'm a VW shop foreman at Bellevue VW in WA.)  If
it does leak in the future, maybe I'll upgrade the heads with the bigger
valves. I'm real curious what a chip, rocker, filter, heads with bigger valves
and exhaust upgrade will do horsepower wise for the waterboxers. I'm guessing
maybe, 130 to 135 HP. It looks like you'll have simillar results soon.
Thanks again.
