Thanks for the compliments guys. My best time was 8.89 sec with speed of 80.45 MPH. Not sure what the true potential of the car is. Would hope that maybe could hit the mid 8s with a bit more track time.
Car weight is an issue too. I weighed it on a truck scale with the stock motor and it weighed 1775 lbs. The FI motor is quite a bit heavier (deep sump, 7 quarts oil, cooler, coils pack, big muffler etc all adds up) plus I finished the interior in the meantime. I might be over 1900 pounds now. Even with 200 horses that a bit of weight to haul around.
Anyway, I had a great time and really enjoyed meeting all of you. I think VW people are the best. I have a restored 1961 (all stock) that's even nicer than the '69 but still needs a bit more finishing. I still have that stock motor, maybe I'll run that at the next race.
