Like you said, power is great, but when I come to think of it I don't even know if I floored Rita yet.
IMO the throttle body was the worst. Crap mileage and always issues with the ecm and distributor. Just go tuned port.

Sorry to hear about the 5.3 but like you said they do have their issues. They sure like to eat green backs. That 350 will be just fine IMO.
