Now THAT is sensible thinking for the 340 vs 360 debate.

A little OT - but I always consider the 340 to built like an F1 or Cart engine - makes its HP and designed to live up high - but on the trip up there, the 360 behaves like a BB, lots of torque under the curve and making more HP for the given revs until the 340 says goodbye..- which is why its an easier street weapon.
