I think I heard somewhere (on the list?) that Fast German Auto in California has
1.25:1 rocker arms for waterboxers.  Has anyone tried these or know how well
they work if in fact they do exist?  Does passing emissions become a problem?
Any piston mods. needed to keep from smacking valves? What sort of power gains
and at what cost (dollar and driveability)
