Hey, what year is the MK8?...just curious because if its a 93, and you have the driveshaft, I could be interested.

With a good exhaust system, proper fuel system, larger MAF, torque converter, and good tune (chip or dyno tune,) that combo should lay down over 300 rwhp. Swap on a Cobra intake then add a power adder, and it'll be one hell of a combo. But I am sure you know this already and thats why you want to take that route, lol.
I have seen a few foxes at the track with DOHC's, so hopefully you can find some good info on the swap. Good luck.

96GTS - the LSC was rated at 10hp more because it had dual exhaust, where the normal MK8's had a 2-1-2 setup that didn't breath well at higher rpms.
