1951 vw bug high MPG enging build in progress

Following in the John Karcey, thaught train. My engine build is in progress. 76x85.5, (B pistons) Demellow full circle crank with stock flywheel and 1965 jaguar xke equalizer pulley and 356 porsch generator pulley (on order)Will replace the stock doghouse fan with a balanced and welded one (not ordered yet. Any recommendations as to order from?) I have a set of "OMNI valves" and plan on using them. they are supposed to help pick up bottom end tourque. They take ~5cc of space up in the head. (just starting the head work so this is not verified yet) With omni valves the valves take care of the opening and closing events (up to .160" lift if I rember correctly) leaving the cam to set max duration and the cam/rockers to set max lift. The cam I am using: CB performance 2236 ( Adv. Duration 280° / Dur. @ .050" 236° / Lift @ cam .339" / Lift w/1.1:1 Rocker Arms .372" IVO 8,51° Lob Cnt 108ยบ) I am going to use 1.25 rockers on the intake and 1.1 on the exhaust. Currently have a 34 picti solex, just cleaned and rebuilt, (carb adjustments not set yet) Pictures and more info on my engine build are : http://sites.google.com/site/buglover34465/1951-rhd-split-window-vw-bug http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=352844&highlight= http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=333608&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=
