Ok, I'll take the 4.30's and the 340 gets 2.76's.. That better than same gears??? LOL you want the 340 to get better gears than my 318. Same gears favor me??? :D :D :D Seriously, step back and look at what you wrote.... You want to show a stock 340 can beat my 318 by giving it better gears to optimize it... :D You don't think gears would optimize my 318?? Next you'll want the 318 to be in a maxi van vs the 340 Duster... Good Grief !
