What motor/combo was faster and produced the most HP, The 427 Thunderbolt or a 63 Max Wedge Dodge or Plymouth?

Here's a look at the Thunderbolt specs:

The 1964 427 Ford Fairlane Thunderbolts where way faster than the 1963 425 HP Max Wedge cars, they where also faster than the 1964 425 HP M.W. cars The 1964 M.W motors had better flowing heads, bigger carbs, bigger lift and duration cams and better intake than the 1963 M.W motors had That is why Mopar ended up designing and making the 426 race Hemi so they could keep up with the dual quad, 427 high Risor Thunderbolts, once they found out that the Ford Thundebolts would outrun the factory M.W. race cars
