Ian all of my runs at the Bonneville saltflats with my flathead Ford block has been with supercharging. Your idea of running no water in the heads as Pete wrote will take a lot of thought. I have a few questions on what your combination will be.
1- Are you running alcohol or gas?
2- Injection or carburation?
3- Class you plan on running?
4- Blower type
Theres lots more to ask but first let me see what your answers are for the above questions.
