No turbo, it'll be running triple side draft Dellorto's. I'll be happy if it runs in the 13's, don't care if it's high or low 13's. I think 350-375 hp is do-able with the six, and that should get it well into the 13's if it weighs around 3600 pounds. I think between the six cylinder and an aluminum trans I should be able to keep the weight down somewhat. I'm building a stroker motor for the Bug for when I want to go fast!
Going by an online 1/4 mile calculator:
325hp/3600LB= 13.68 ET
350hp/3600LB= 13.35 ET
375hp/3600LB= 13.04 ET
Of course that's assuming that it hooks up and is geared decent. Raising the trailing arm mounts and moving the tank to the back will help it hook, and it'll have 4.56 gears since a T56 is double overdrive.
