Congrats on the new purchase.
But sorry I'm gonna have to call BS on the 28i outhandling 35i. You're telling me you can feel a 100lb difference on a 4200lb truck?
Maybe you should take a page from the ricer handbook and start removing rear seats, trim pieces, and insulation for weight savings and better handling.
And 60 more hp is only useful starting from 80mph and ending at 100mph
