If anyone is interested,over at the airvw and vw_conversions yahoo sites, these has been a pretty cool 
new mod. It involves brazing or welding fin extensions onto the head. I'm not getting into a brazing vs tig discussion, so don't try. But they are having very good results. It is being tested on a redrive vw pulling a CH701, so very high rpms and drag with no cooling issues, even for extended taxi, fast cruise and long climbs. The idea was borrowed from Mr. Robert Hoover. I know a little bit about the guy doing it and I believe him to be a stand up guy that you can trust.
So the idea of a VW only being good for 36 or so hp is out the window, if this proves out in the long run.
