Today, dollar for dollar, is the 318 faster than the 340 ???

but the average guy isn't trying to build a ''340 hp'' spec motor, he's trying to build a fast 318 'cos that's what he has. it's not all about the 340, the world doesn't revolve around that motor despite what some would have us believe :thumbsup:

You're right, I suppose it couldn't with the lack of availability of that engine.
