Factory 68-71 340 puts 325HP on GM Dyno

14.30 is what the stock 340's turned with a 3.23. Ive got and old mags somewhere where the car mags tested one. In the mid seventies when I started driving I had a buddy with a bone stock one with 3.91 and with some minor tuning and good driving techniques ran a 13.90. He was smoking 396/350 horse Chevelles, I even saw him beat a 360 horse 70 Z28, not by much. But I saw him get smoked by an RT B body with a tuned 440 six pack. The Dart beat him out of the hole and part way but when those six pack carbs were fully open he walked off from the Dart. He said that his car would turn 12.90. in 1970, Ronnie Sox,Mr. "Four Speed", was recruited to test a six pack car for one of the car mags. I cant remeber which B it was but he was able to turn 13.00 flat.
Ive got a warmed over stock 360 Mag with an air gap, 2 1/8 Mag RT exhaust manifolds which I had the machine shop hog out the outlet to 2 1/2, 512 lift cam, reverse 904, 3.91, and a 3500 converter, MP distributor and a 750 With a Proform Carb body. I'm looking for 12.80's without a 200 horse nitrous system, and 11.30's with the gas.. I have a buddy with the 550 horse Stang who has been running his mouth because he turned 11.80 at Bithlo raceway. As it were my Dart will be a daily driver, the only real giveaway will be the 10 inch rubber under the rear, and Patriot side pipes. I'm going for the 70's look and plan to waste the new Stangs and Vettes running 11.70 off the showroom for a fraction of the cost.
