I don't believe you for a second. I saw the list of mods you made, there is no way I can figure how you got a 50% HP increase out of that 2.1L. NO change in displacement, NO forced induction, NO increase in compression ratio, you seem to have defyed the laws of thermal dynamic engineering. Is this a joke? Are you just trolling for controversy? And 133mph is just plain CRAP. I have trouble getting my 210hp Supercharged G60 GTi to 125mph. My friend got his highly modified Corrado VR6, punched out from the stock 2.8l to 3.0, new cams, chip, and schrick intake manifold to 140mph. And it's half the size, half the aerodynmic resistance, and a lot more power... Did you test the Vanagon in a Vacuum? This is RIDICULOUS. The WB certainly can be made more effecient with your mods, and I <italic>might</italic> buy a 20hp increase, but 40? Come on! Plus who did the dyno testing? Not you since you haven't put the engine together yet. Your claims are so outrageous that you might as well said 200hp and 150mph. After you get the engine together, I challenge you to some tests. I'll be HAPPY to race my GTi, or Golf powered Vanagon against you. And I'll pay to have you run Quarter miles on a track and to dyno test your engine. It's WAY too early for April Fools.
