340 improvements with dyno numbers

Lustle said

So you guys really don't think a 340. Bored .030 over. 10:1 compression (stock pop up pistons). Edelbrock RPM intake. X heads. Dialed in edelbrock 800. Comp XE268H. And 1-5/8 headers can do 390 horse/411 torque? C'mon. That's a well known combo for 400 horse out of a small block. At least read the article before you slam it.

I never said that. It may very well make the power they claimed. It damn well should make a lot more than a stock 340.

I always call into question any mods or builds done by magazines when they are obviously using sponsors' parts that have been thrown at them for the cost of being published and bragged about. I much prefer independent tests.

I don't think anybody is showing angst, but merely saying to not necessarily believe everything you read.

Do yall not think the numbers could be inflated for the sake of making parts look good? Parts that were probably donated? Parts that you or I would have to pay for?

We're simply saying look at it from all perspectives.
