Yes, from some clues in the wpilib, the Victor SP and Talon SR seem to use the same nominal timing-to-voltage curves, and you'd stand a pretty good chance at getting away with it, especially if these were two motors on the same gearbox as opposed to two separate mechanical trains you were trying to synchronize with open loops. In any case, do not wye a PWM output between a jaguar and anything else - bad joojoo.
