Making the type four rev higher Options

[Trekkor]

I have a VW Bug race car with a type four motor.

I would like it to safely rev up to 6500-7000 rpms.

What is needed to accomplish this?

thanks

All kinds of drag racers spinning them faster than that, so [EDIT] why not a T1? Be a little careful, those guys think ten seconds at a time and weekly engine teardowns are normal things. You want to do something a bit different with durability, more like the buggy guys. If just say your goal is RPM's not everyone giving you advice will understand that difference.

I really like John at Aircooled.net. He's a racer himself and sells parts but also gives really smart (not that common) and impartial advice about what you really need. Tell him I (Paul Illick) sent you and he might be a little more diplomatic.... but probably not. CB makes lightweight lifters, aluminum rockers, lightweight pushrods, rods and their CNC cylinder heads, whatever you need. It's all there and not expensive compared to teeners. Do you have any class restrictions on displacement or whatever?

EDIT: By the way, this is good suspension information: http://www.aircooled.net/vw-handling-suspension-tuning/ The guy is a perennial hillclimb winner in Australia, for two decades now, in a bug. You certainly already have your own suspension setup, but it's always interesting to compare notes.

It's a TypeIV so... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
