FI, big cc motor q's

Post by Zardust »

Sorry if I'm in the wrong forum. I also posted this in the Forced Induction forum
I'm thinking about buying a 67 bug. I'm in the inland empire, Southern California. I am familiar with VW's but I've been out of it for about 30 years. The car has been sitting eight plus years with approximately 300 miles on motor. Owner said it needs dyno tune.

I know zero about a turbo motor as well as a motor of this size. I have a few questions.
1. Dyno tune - What all is involved, approximate cost to have it done, where to have it done in the 909 area code? Anything to lookout for?
2. With a motor like this, would it be more for the drag strip only or could it also be ran on the street as well?
3. Any problems with excessive heat and/or dependability?

Any advice or information will be greatly appreciated Thank you for your time.

Motor specs are below

Turbo motor - draw through
Scat flanged 90 MM crankshaft
Scat H beam 5.7 long rods
Cima Mahle pistons 94 MM total seal rings
Web turbo camshaft
Ported heads 40 x 44 big valve
Side draft Weber
Autocraft 10 MM head studs, Scat 1.25 rockers
Swing Axle trans double gusseted 3.88 R&P

A dyno tune on a carb'd motor would entail doing some pulls and adjusting the jetting and the timing. This is more than strapping it down and making a few pulls, this would entail one to several hours of time and you would pay the rate for the dyno plus who ever was doing the adjustments.
