I think i'm going to go with a reman. head because the valve seats are so worn. There are a lot of these cars out there but they all need heads.
I don't see any thing wrong with shifting gears to go up hills. I drive over into West Virginia and Virginia and never had to go to low gear yet going up a hill. I am mystified that many think a vehicle is suppose to go up hills in high gear.

Also with good aero modds I don't need as much power.
When i have the aero modds right it feels strange to have the car accelerate at highway speeds, like a stock vw does at low speeds.
