360 Magnum vs 340 mild street build - my experience

I was coming at it from a purely performance perspective not cost which is what I stated in the post potential power is always going to be an argument when throwing out the cost perspective in building an engine. If we add to the cost perspective then obviously there's no argument for 340 given the cost for them.
I understand, and I was throwing out the cost as well. I was just saying once we start putting strokers and 2.08's on the 340 or 360, then we lose the mild backyard rodder... might as well say Trick Flow heads ... on a 440? If
