Did the 340 really make 275hp?

I still say that the 275hp rating was conservative at best. The average had to be at least 300hp. 10:5:1 compression, 2.02/1.60 valves('68-71), huge 4.04 bore and short 3.31 stroke is a sure recipe for power.

The 290hp rating on a T/A Challenger and AAR Cuda was even more of a joke. One guy I was talking to explained that his stock one was closer to 350 hp.
