Here’s a Question to Ponder.

[Vic Piano]

There has always been a lot of talk (post) on this forum about how to get maximum horsepower performance, etc. out of a Flathead and those post tend to relate to test of speed rather than endurance. While these posts are, without a doubt, very interesting, my questions are simply theses; First, How many of us are building our cars/trucks to race rather than to drive on the street, what’s the ratio? Second; just how “warm” do you want your Flathead(s) to be to drive them regularly? Third; how much so called speed equipment (bolt on) do you regard as “eye candy) over the assumed increase in performance provided?
I've got nothing against racing but my preference is to build our Flatheads "slightly warm" to perform as daily drivers with an occasional long distance road trip, and a little "bling" never hurts. Vic
