Stock 340 dyno tests?

Usually when we talk HP in older cars it's gross hp in dyno trim which a 340 should easily produce 300+ hp, as for net we know the lesser 340 is rated 245 so with the higher cr and 2.02 got to worth 20 or so net hp, 275 hp is fairly close to the net rating.

Note that when the 340's compression ratio dropped two full points and got a smaller intake valve, it dropped from (supposedly) 275 gross hp to 240 net.

The 318 went from 230 gross all the way down to 150 net with NO loss in compression.

Draw your own conclusions.
