However, look at the average horsepower and torque.
Performer RPM - 521 hp and 552 torque.
Victor - 513 hp and 538 torque.
Now, which do you think would pose a better situation in a car that spends most of its time around 2500-3000 rpm?
At 3000 rpm, the Victor is making 284 hp and 497 lb-ft, where the Performer is making 305 hp and 533 lb-ft.
Another thing that the dyno does not show is throttle response....

Brent - what's your opinion from your experience, of which manifold would work best based on what Lippy is trying to accomplish? I don't have a dog in this hunt but it's an interesting subject. Most people are looking for more power, more rpm, etc instead of trying to pull it back a little.
