We did a pair of very similar 482 engines a while ago. one had a Victor and a 1050, the other had an RPM and a HP1000. On the dyno they both peaked at around 6200 and the Victor was about 5 horspower ahead - that could be the carb size difference.

We've also done 445 strokers with the Victor versus the RPM and those dyno at roughly 20 HP better with the Victor. Not sure why the variance - but close enough to tell you to use the RPM and some port matching if clearance is a real issue/concern.

I guarantee that the Victor has more potential with no downside in part throttle on a big engine combo in a Cobra, but as Keith noted - it may not be worth the gain/effort if you're not using the "big numbers" side of the tach.
