VW cylinder heads are the best "bang for your buck" on increasing horsepower in your Volkswagen engine. This is because horsepower comes primarily from two things:
- The size of the engine itself; - bigger is always more horsepower;
- and the air flow of the heads.
Engine size can't be changed without installing larger pistons and barrels or a stroker crank... but, new vw cylinder heads can be changed without splitting the engine case.
If splitting the engine case and all of the required machine work just isn't on your list of fun projects, nor is purchasing a stroker kit or a whole new engine for thousands of dollars... MOFOCO VW cylinder heads are a true bolt-on performance upgrade that anyone with basic mechanic skills can accomplish in a few hours. All Mofoco heads are made in the USA, too!
