I have ran both intakes on the Dyno back to back. I cannot give you a direct answer as my combination of parts is quite different than yours and each combination must be viewed on it's own merits. But suffice to say the Victor is designed to produce it's usable power at a much higher RPM than your cam and I assume these heads can use.

Let me illustrate using my own combination. 450 CID FE. Heads flowing 310 @ .650 Intake & 220 @ .700 exhaust. Roller Cam with 254 I & 260 E with 110 LDA and installed 2 degrees advanced. Static Compression of 11.89:1 with a Cold Crank of 205lbs. Engine comes on @ 3000 & signs off @ 6200. Moves 1042 CFM @ 6200 & has volumetric efficiency of 108%. The Victor out HP & tq the RPM beginning @ 4100 RPM. Plus my Victor has the runners extended into the plenum to increase torque and therefore would be even more high RPM oriented if left stock.
So given the CID size and air movement my engine can support the Victor.

Respectfully your combination will not take advantage of the Victor and will loose power across it usable cam size and range. With 428 CID and 226 intake duration with 109 lobe center your cam will make great tq and limit HP to 5200 RPM and below. Plus lifting into the .500 range will not be enough ( given normal
Edelbrock FE head flow numbers) to support the Victor. The engine will be sluggish and flat. The RPM will give you great intake velocity and thus better cylinder filling ability over the RPM range of the cam.

Just my thoughts. Good luck on your build.
