The 340 is the biggest POS V8 Chrysler ever made.

Why is comparing a 340 to the LT-1 a joke? The 340 was the most powerful Chrysler small block. The LT-1 was one of the most powerful small blocks. I could have said let's line up a 340 Duster with a 375 HP fuel injected Vette, but I didn't. IMO, a 340 car better be careful with a 350/350 in a properly tuned Camaro. That's the point of drag racing. You never know who will win.
For one the lt1 is a solid lifter cam.
For two it has ten more cubic inches .
If you want to compare truly make them the same !
Then you want to campare a 396 big block.
It's not apples to apples !
I tespect your knowledge, and experience , as with many others on here.
I just disagree with your comparison.
