If you want to lose torque take the gt40 intake it'll give you power back on top end, you want pulling power keep the truck intake.
Longer runners = more torque
shorter = more horsepower
The only way to really improve the truck manifold is port matching the upper and lower sections.

Harmful. Leave the GT40 intake for the Mustangs.

As far as roller vs flat tappet is concerned:

Pre-92: Flat Tappet - "Non-HO" Firing Order
92-93: Roller - "Non-HO" Firing Order
94-96: Roller - "HO/351W" Firing Order
