Who are YOU kidding!?!
I had an ‘ANEMIC’ Chevy (3.5” bore/3.48” stroke) 267 small block wind up a 1980 impala to 135mph. **** for compression. 4000 pounds all year long.
And you don’t think a 340 powered Mopar can do 150mph?

Get out of here with that bullshit!

My 1973 340 b body has pegged past the 150mph Speedo. LOW COMPRESSION!
****-*** exhaust manifolds. Same car:
Squeazed off 17.5mpg driving 200 miles averaging 45-55mph…
…During that 17.5mpg run a 1957 Chevy with a 454 and a 700r4 OVERDRIVE TRANSMISSION wouldn’t let me pass him on the back roads-lead foot buried into the floor. (Had to back off the left lane when traffic was coming, I was going to pass him if it killed me.)
It isn’t always top notch parts and combinations that provide performance.
Get off your high horse GUESSING yourself into a lie.
