The engine in my volksrod was in my full body 65 bug and went 15.16 in 1/4, 9.51 in the 1/8. 1850cc with dual dellorato carbs.
My white bug runs 6.80's at 100 mph in the 1/8 with a 1.41 60 ft time and without any power adders and I do drive it to work sometimes [ddev. 2332 with 51.5 weber IDAs (bored out 48s).
My 65 street bug is running a 1904cc with 48 IDAs. It ran 7.50's (1/8) in the racecar.
