Hi JC

Back in 2000, we started running our 2000 chrysler sebring in GT/CA with the 340 high compression combo. It wasn't as competitive as the 318 combo we use now, but it wasn't out of the ball park. We ran it for several years and went as fast as 9.84 at maple grove back in 2002.

I believe it was rated 310 or 305 hp back then in the GT cars.
I see that the GT 340 is rated at 290 now. (295 with the replacement heads).

I won Englishtown in 04, and Columbus in 05 with this combo.

It sure is a better hp combo now, but I'd rather do the dp 360 also.
