340 Vs 360

More rpm doesn't mean 7,000-10,000+ rpm.
Then what does more rpm mean?
A 340 is only slightly smaller not needing crazy amounts of rpm, if the same lbs-ft per cid you’re talking 300-400 rpm difference.
Slightly smaller in what?
I wasn't taking bore size, bore stroke rod ratio those are bonus but I was going off cubic inch the cubic inch difference since that what was brought up.
Please expand. Because what I read is not what I thought you were saying. Just the opposite. Ish….
But saying No Replacement for displacement and torque is king aren't half truths misleading leaves out lot of variables etc.. ?
In a general statement, OK
I'm just trying to introduce the other main variable RPM to the conversation.
Again rpm is valve train control limited
My point when it comes hp, rpm is just as important as torque,
Tell that to the F1 4cyl engines
hp is the combination of both, if you want to talk which ratio of torque and rpm makes better street car, cheaper, better drag engine etc... Those are different design concerns and are generally build specific.
And person specific
Is this really controversial stuff.
Mehhh…
