Vic Jr. vrs tunnel ram

for $$$$ we are building a 289 with 13.5 to 1 comp. all the good stuff in it rod pistons
world product Sr heads be for we ran it to 7000 rpm shift point because the toplader will not shift above 7000 rpm. we have a Vic Jr intake with a 750 dp Holly.
12.90 ET is the best we can get out of it at 4500' we just bought a Doug Nash 5 spd with a low gear 3.20 we have 6.00 rear gears with 29.5x12.00 slicks
we can move the shift point up to 7500-8000
that is still be in the power band. can we get more power from a tunnel ram with a single 850 dp. or two 390 carbs and run in our power band will a Vic Jr do the trick.tunnel ram move the air faster then a vic jr will?????????
any of your knowledge on this would a great help to me
