What are the options, if any, for adding more HP to a flathead 6?

The 6 can benefit quite a bit with a hop up. Milled or aluminum head, dual carbs/exhaust, cam, ignition can make a world of difference.
I think its www.inliners.com that has the info. Otherwise do a Google search on inliners.
One benefit...it doesnt have the cracked block problem of the V8.
