I don't know,YR thinks HP is King and Torque will take care of itself, I don't see that in this guy. I think YR maybe vote for 340 but would think you also could make power with a 318.
I’ll take torque over horsepower any day. It makes the car much more drivable, easier to tune, requires less RPM to do the same work and takes everything down. You can use different cam timing too. It’s just better unless you are building drag cars. Torque wins every time in my book. Even in a drag car, torque is what makes it move.
