When I rebuilt the 1972 VW Super Beetle engine I had the cam ground for a close to stock cam timing and lift that was also compatible with a 10:1 compression ratio running regular gas. I'm not sure how much power it made, but that Super Bug felt like it was quite a bit faster than the 1985 VW Golf I had that was suposedly more powerful even though everything else on the Bug was stock (carb, air filter, exhaust, pistons, heads except machining for higher CR) except the custom ignition timing. I could climb any pass at the speed limit in the Bug whereas the Golf wouldn't. I also got a rock solid 30mpg average in the Bug.
