Hi everybody and happy new year 2008 :lol:

am glad to find this forum for our typical 411 VW.
As the tittle I try to boost the power of my 411,I just have bought a SCAT C20 430x278 camshaft,two cylinder heads with 39x33valves,and a horizontal twin carbs (solex 40DDH) and I don't know what else to buy to complete it.

I would like to precise that the car works good with it's original configuration but it just needs to be boosted a litte.

So what else can be brought back from the original engine :roll:

Sorry if I put too much question for my very first posting :oops:

Those items sound fine. I'd also throw in a good flowing exhaust, as that is the one key component for getting power from a Type 4 engine, along with the camshaft.

The one change I would have gone with would be a camshaft kit from the Type 4 Store ( http://www.type4store.com/ ). Aftermarket camshafts are notorious for going bad if they aren't precisely matched to lifters. Scat's track record isn't the best.

You might want to stop by the Shoptalk Forums and visit the Type 4rum, a forum dedicated to the Type 4 engine.

There are a lot of really knowledgable Type 4 guys there.
