I've seen A LOT of posts about making HP with a 318-So why is it so ???

For all the people saying "340/360", if cubic inches are all that matter, why don't you throw out those boat anchors and get a 440?
Then there are some here complaining that pistons cost $200 more.....if $200 is a deal breaker, this ain't the right hobby....
RRR said it about 3 times..."some people just like what they like"......
I like having a 318 that would surprise people.

... the torque of a 440 is such a poor match for a light A body on the street, but there's no denying the wow factor that comes with tire smoke.
...most 408 strokers usually produce tire spin in at least 3 gears and in all fairness that's gotta' be fun!
