This all makes sense to me. I had figured that the intakes were all pretty much the same (within reason). The truck is really just a toy for the occasional weekend that I have time to drive it. I got a chance to get the 355 and thought it was well worth replacing the tired, leaky, old 350. I like some power but don't need a race truck...yet. Eventually I have the dream of turbos, but that's a ways out.
