RustyRatRod's Guide To Hot Rod Bliss

I think the enemy here is "Ego"....I know for SURE I'm my own worst enemy when it comes to hi-perf parts. I get drawn in by the hype even though I know better..."gotta have that cam, those pistons, that manifold..." for what? I don't even race. What I need is probably what the factory built 40 years ago, and it will start every time.
Thanks for the wake-up call, guys!
