Just based on the difference in the carburetors venturis, (Holley carb has 1.375" Primary Venturis and the 66 Tri-Power has a smaller Primary Venturi (even smaller than the 64 GTO Center Carb venturi), I would say that the Holley 770 (if calibrated properly) will make more power below 3000 rpm. The 66 Tri-power is basically an on-off switch.
