Default RE: 340 or 360?

im running 8 to 1 pistons in my 340...528/284 cam, flowtech headers, late model (non magnum) 360 heads 188.160 valves (the smallest valved heads offered on mopar small blocks) edelbrock airgap intake, proform race carb, stock stroke, 30 over...and im making around 490-500 bhp.

the 360 is more of a torque engine due to the extra cubes, but the 340 is a GREAT engine.

what compression are you running? what heads? ive never heard of that intake manifold, and i only use mopar cams, so im not familiar with that lunati cam, but i know that the next step up from my 528 is the 557 mopar cam...ive considered going to the 557 cam. i believe that the mopar 557 cam likes a little more RPM than the 528 cam, so youll want a bigger stall if you want it to come off the line hard. my current build in the demon is using the step back from the 528, which is the 509...its a little more street friendly.
