Today, dollar for dollar, is the 318 faster than the 340 ???

I have personally seen two 318 cars WITH 2 barrel carbs run 11.70's in the quarter mile and one of them was a B body.
That's impressive !! Must have been like a stock car (circle track) engine ?? 2 bbl as in stock car 2bbl ? That would be fun, certainly not the norm and I like that !
