Mark I have not noticed any power loss with the C-4 even behind stock flatheads. Everyone I have helped with this combination really enjoy the feel and power. The flathead engine seems to really like the auto conversion with a higher rear gear like 325 its a great conversion.
On my wife's Deuce coupe Hot Rod with the C-4 its really amazing how well it runs and pulls the engine is only a .060 over stock bore and 3-3/4 stroke the final ratio in my Halibrand is 280 the car fly's right along nicely.
