[Scirocco-l] Re: Was: Stretch bolts vs. studs... Valve springs

Steve-
  1. If you are going to run a STOCK exhaust cam on the intake (???), then
run STOCK springs.
2. If you accidentally over-rev the engine, then heavier springs may save
your bacon.  But, INTENTIONALLY over-revving is counterproductive to going
fast.  Each engine has a point at which more revs equal LESS horsepower.
For a stock 16V Scirocco, that point is 5800 rpm.
