Why is comparing a 340 to the LT-1 a joke? The 340 was the most powerful Chrysler small block. The LT-1 was one of the most powerful small blocks. I could have said let's line up a 340 Duster with a 375 HP fuel injected Vette, but I didn't. IMO, a 340 car better be careful with a 350/350 in a properly tuned Camaro. That's the point of drag racing. You never know who will win.
