What kind of numbers have you gotten while testing, Jake? HP, TQ, temps?
They are stock sized valves and I think he used a stock cam so the numbers are not gonna be too crazy.... What we realy want to see is big ports and lots of overlap to show how the valve timing changes the charactoristics of the setup.... That will also able you to use tons of lift and overlap while still having a driver.... I think Jake is wanting to build a type 4 motor with bigger valves to test on.....

I dynoed those in a Class 9 motor 5 years ago....incredible bottom end torque, and the motor idled at 600 rpm...then we had one fail....the slidding seat can't take the RPM of VW. I tried like hell to get a hold of the guy, and he wouldn't return my calls or e-mails. I wasn't pissed, I just wanted a replacement...They are called OMNI VALVES.... My next move is reed valves on the intake runners....

Hi Joel,
Can you explain the reeds?

Vince has not been able to make them strong enough. The valves just are not holding up. I haven't heard anything for a few years. Too bad. They made great bottom end power. Just won't hold up.
