What is the most extreme valve lift you've seen on a Type 4 engine?

Thanks in advance.

I would suggest you might want to ask these questions from a different angle.

What is it you are trying to achieve?
What is the goal of the car?
What will you use if for?

These pieces of information might create more real world responses of motor combos that work.

Can you get 200 HP from a type 4....yes, but it has a limited application...mainly a race car...sucks to drive around town...

Bragging rights is one thing, but usefulness is where it will get the car out of the garage and driven....

As Mark said..there may be a point where you look at all the cool things going on with other motors in these cars.
