6 Pack vs. 650 4BBL?

chrysler rated the 1968-71 340 4 barrel (625 avs and 750 thermoquad) at 275 hp. and the 1970 six pack at 290 hp-these are accurate numbers for stock. at the strip throwing on a 950 4 barrel is easier, especially for the nonmopar chumps. and the wow factor!
and they have the same everything else in the motor? 15 hp for 1000 bucks today, and I bet I could get 15 hp by bolting on a used Eddy RPM and 750 dp, probably getting the pair for 400 buck. Not to mention ease of tuning, this is my point. Love 6 packs! Cool looking! Not the most bang for the buck. Who can argue, other than just to argue...

P.S. - neither hp rating was accurate. 310 for the 68-71 340 would be a bit more accurate.
