Y'know. This debate got me to thinking....
I built a couple of the engines running in the FAST racing series. All wedges,
. The Maxie that I did for Ed Cook made really good power. High 700's through the stock manifolds. Ed has run a best of 10.30 @134MPH. 1.56 60' on the G70 bias tires at a car weight with driver of around 3750. I've had it on the dyno countless times and can tell you when you compare his dyno sheet to Dave Dudek's Hemi engine the peak power of both engines really aren't that much apart, but Dave's engine keeps going when the Maxie is winding down. That really sums up the differences between the two engines (when looking at them from a factory standpoint anyway). Aftermarket heads change the whole equation.
