4 barrels and intakes are over rated on street cars

I bought a bone stock 73 Dart a couple months and took it out for the first time today. It has a bone stock 318. With stock intake, stock cam and 2 barrel. Today was first the time that I put it to a real test. As I obviously couldn’t do that test driving it, the day I bought it. In my mind prior. I knew what I was getting and had zero performance expectations. Turns out, this damn 318 motor screams. It will run circles around my B body convertible 360 with bigger cam, bigger intake and 4 barrel. There’s no comparison. Little bit less weight with the 318 car. But, not enough that I’m extremely impressed with the performance.
