The truck intake is not restricting the motor at all it actually matches the Edelbrock and can be easily ported to exceed it, and all of these are capable of feeding an engine making upwards of 350hp. If you're looking for more power change the cam and replace the complete exhaust system with headers and an aftermarket single or dual setup, those are the components that are holding it back.

Longtubes will produce more gains at lower rpms so they're arguably better suited to truck applications, but shorties will also produce gains across the board from stock when paired with a complete free flowing aftermarket exhaust system, the stock manifolds and Y-pipe n cats are well known to be rather restrictive.
