The problem is you are not comparing apples to apples, you are looking at new technology vs old technology, of coarse it's better. So you out ran a 440 I always out ran them with my 340, people would stop and say that's got to be a hemi to there surprise it's a 340. You can't compare 40 year old with new technology, only a moron would do this and make a big deal about it. A Northstar is the most awesome motor anybody has ever built in a production car, the performance capability's are unbelievable, way better than a LS motor, to bad not enough people know this. If I put a fuel injection unit on a 340 that was set up with a mas air flow sensor, knock sensor, like a LS motor I could get the power and mileage you want, it would take some port work and some special cam design but it could be done with little effort. The problem is nobody want to do it right. All the fuel injection ad on's don't have a maf sensor and you have to use one to calculate engine load. So once again my friend you are making yourself look like most idiots in the world of cars, you don't really have a clue.
