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

Yeah add a bored throttle body and some computer tuning and I suspect it will be around 300hp just like the 300hp crate motors. Just my thoughts on that
Richard Holdener is NOT done. He will be adding a lot of parts and even a turbo system.

Part #2 Dyno run was same DEAD stock 5.9 but adding 1.7/8 LONG tube headers.
300 Hp and 399 Ft Torque....

Then he did a dry NOS spray and with fat fuel he got 470 Hp and 457 Ft Torque.
