This week, I sit down with Fred Simpson for a good conversation on cylinder head technology, porting and polishing, and how all of it really translates into horsepower. Fred breaks down engine combinations, airflow calculations, and what kind of power you can realistically expect from different motor setups\u2014while also being honest about the limitations he\u2019s run into over the years. We also get into camshaft technology and ask the big question: has cam design kept pace with modern cylinder head development? To round it out, Fred shares his unfiltered take on exhaust systems\u2014what works, what doesn\u2019t, and which designs he says flat-out choke an engine. If you\u2019re into engine theory, real-world results, and no-BS technical insight, this is one of those episodes you won\u2019t want to miss. www.vwtrendsmagazine.com www.rosswulf.com use LTD10 for a discount   www.letstalkdubs.com     ","author_name":"Let\u2019s Talk Dubs a Classic VW Podcast","author_url":"http:\/\/www.letstalkdubs.com","html":"
