John, glad you liked the physics lecture. Let me know how your mods worked out.

It might make an interesting database if we collected information from all Vanagon modifiers. As long as the information contained the base configuration results and general statement about model and transmission as well as the results after modification I'm sure a trend would develop that showed which mods really increased power. I hope there isn't a rash of accidents as Vanagon owners blazed off 0-60 times on the roads, on second thought who would notice?
