i know the truck lower is built for balls to the wall low-end tourque. so make sure you match the upper intake with the lower I.E power band wise.

regardless, you'll have to port the snot out of the truck lower to get it to work well with the Holley upper.

The holley lower is based on the truck, so it will be a good match, I must stress the need for the right cam selection to pull the combo together.

If you've ever seen the opening of a truck lower at the head flange you'll know what I mean. It has very small cross section - for high velocity at low engine speeds to give great torque, but it won't support good power at mid-higher rpms.
