Opinions on a 340

RustyRatRod said
Ok. I am out of it. If yall don't think you an the kinda power figures I spoke of out of an 8.5:1 340 then yall are crazy. Look what Jim Laroy did with the low comp 440 build and yall don't think a 340 can do 350 or so HP with 8.5? Yall are nuts. Keep on feedin the guy horse feathers, cause that's what you're doin.

You are correct, if you can obtain a true 8.5:1. Moper's point is he's not likely going to get 8.5:1 unless things are checked and corrected to get 8.5:1. We all know the stock "10.5:1" 340's we more like 9.something:1 from the factory.
