340 HP out of a naturally-aspirated four-banger with 40mm carbs? Gotta wave the BS flag on that claim. The 40s will only flow so much air, it doesn't matter how fast you spin the motor.
I am sure that 340 HP could be gotten out of a four-banger. But it would likely require forced induction, and definitely more than 40mm intake throats. Heck, by the time you get to 300 HP the six-banger guys are looking for larger intake throats, and they've got half-again the number of intakes! --DD |
