First off, it doesn't have a carb and second, why is that a problem?

This seems to have a stronger draw than normal. When you shut the car off you can hear a loud suction before it shuts down all the way.

The stronger, the better. It's a sign of a healthy engine.

I don't think there a problem with just that. Your user name suggest this is a 2003 and didn't think 5.7s were used that year? Doesn't really matter now but what model year is this?
