they will both handle more hp and as for boost i think they will run about the same, but its realy not boost you need its cfm, the 351 flows a lot more air at the same boost level as the 35 will. i have heard that the 351ve will handle up to around 500hp, seems pretty good to me so i went with that for now, but i will add an s475 under it for twins latter on the ve seems to be the cheaper option but more involved to install, not bad though took me about 4-5 hours to fab up everything and install it

it actually made my truck quieter out of the exhaust, the turbo has a different sound, kicks in much sooner. as for the fab work i drilled and tapped out the original bolt holes for plugs, installed then and ground it flat, then i took the old t3 gasket from the hx35 lined it up to where the inlet was centered, marked the holes and drilled and tapped them. you can put 3 studs in but the bottom hole near the firewall the manifold has to be ground off to allow for a stud to go through, the bottom on the front needs a bolt to go into the manifold, if this doesn't make sence i will try to clarify a bit. as for the intercooler pipe i just got some 3 inch exhaust and a mandrel bent j bend and fabed it up, not hard at all. i also control the vanes with a return spring, just welded an arm on and put the sprin on to have the drive pressure move them, will have to do some tuning as soon as i can drive the truck again
