Holley Strip Dominator vs. Edelbrock Victor 340

That's sort of the basis of what I'm asking - whether the intake by itself would allow the engine to rev higher.
Great question that I have zero experience to answer on. I actually just got my first Victor a little way back from a member here. I was about to do some port and plenum work when a friend and I came to an agreement that he will get the intake and I’ll get his old Hooker headers that aren’t made anymore. It’s a trade between friends that has no dollar amount or care about it.

Perhaps @pittsburghracer ya know something of this?

I don't know if I'll take the motor back to the dyno before it goes back in the car.
It is a pricey thing…. Everyone (live in person) always asks and get hissy when you tell them you didn’t dyno the engine. Like your back yard money tree got sick and you let it die.
