5.oooh magazine did a test on a moderate 393w last year.
If you believe magazines, the air gap made more midrange torque, but the Victor Jr made about 8 more hp on the top end.
It really depends on your combination.
Both would work work well on a street/strip cae, with the scales going toward the Vic Jr for the more radically cammed engines.

I'll second that  I chose the AirGap because I've got 75 fewer cubes to work with. On a 'little' motor, it's having your cake and eating it too; crisp bottom end power and screams all the way to 7k  ------------------

The Air Gap for the bigger engine is designed for the bigger engine.
If the 302 Air Gap works on a 331, then the 351 intake should work on a 408. My car will get more street time than track time. My combo is 408, Victor Jr heads, Air Gap, and undetermined cam to operatate 2000-6500. If I were building a race car I would use Sr heads with a single plane intake.
