In the case of our beloved Flathead, aesthetics plays an important role in its presentation to the outside world. When dressed in it's finery, it's probably one of the most beautiful engine in the world. And the sound is different than any other engine. The plan here is to accent the sound, with out limiting the performance and economy of the engine. Properly tuned the L-100 does just that. However, there are probably many other cams that will do the same thing. IF the individual building the engine would take the time and expense to find the optimun timing and AF needs of the engine. All this has to start when putting it together. Discussing the power is a MOOoo question, or a cows opinion.
Have fun.
