Trick Flow small block heads

I dont get why guys give up so much performance to build a combo thats “ streetable”
Just guessing, but i bet 90% of people i have met that have muscle cars use them only in fair weather, non rainy days, and don't take them on long trips.
Some might argue, but that has been my experience
I have a street strip car. My cam is 260@50 and my convertor flashes 5000
I can drive it as far as i want or desire to drive a 50 year old car without A/C in the summertime
I wouldnt drive it further if it had a 230@50 cam and 3000 stall convertor. So my thought is why give up all the power if you enjoy taking your car to the track, like i do.
Gas mileage is of zero concern to me. I have a daily driver(s) for that with air, cruise and a nice sound system i can listen to while getting 30mpg.
In short, i think people “ overthink” what is and isn't streetable.
I understand some people have a nice 71 Duster with a slant 6 they drive everywhere, and it might be the only car they have.
This isn't directed at them. Its more to the guys that talk on these kinds of forums and are giving up a lot of performance they dont have to.
I race everything i have ever owned. I also drive everything. Difference is, i am not out to prove reliability on a power tour, but respect people who do.
No way i would ever buy a nice set of heads like trick flows and stick a tiny “ streeter” cam in it and make a pooch out of a high potential combination
Rant over.... lol
