LA 360 or Magnum 5.9

I agree 360 has all the advantages especially on the street. But I was just trying to correct the thinking somehow 318 cant make similar hp with the similar parts. Of course your gonna have to turn the powerband up about 600 rpm and at least 2 steps lower gear and about 600 rpm more stalll and a ruffer idle than a 360 . For some those are disadvantages their willing to live with and others not. I figure if your will to gear it
(small displacement) build it if not go bigger or except lesser performance for the same dime.
How about a streeter with lotsa gears, overdrive, a clutch, and and a stout 360 ? I know, I know, overkill. I buy my tires in bulk.
