I had ( and sold) a gt350r and currently have a 16 gt350 and an 18 raptor.
for that commute, raptor 9 out of 10 times.
I sold my R because I was really hesitant to modify it ( and someone offered a pretty ridiculous sum of money for it. it was a 2015.)
My 16 is very heavily modified. I will almost guarantee that you will not want to go forced induction on the car after doing headers and a tune.
the S/C tunes will lower your redline. you will also put a lot of stress on the crank. at a minimum, you'll want to do a timing set and OPGs if you go S/C. the voodoo is so high strung that, IMO, you are REALLY playing with fire by going FI.
But honestly, it is a road race car. the S/C will completely change the characteristics of the car. The trans is NOT strong enough to handle big power right off the line. ( already had some transmission breakage on mine.
My car throws down 593 at the rear wheels on Sunoco 260 GT plus. I shaved a little over 260 lbs off the weight of the car with my upgrades and changes. ( All the body panels, etc are factory. Switching the hood and decklid to CF would shave another 60-70 lbs combined, but I don't think the $$$ spent is worth it.)
My tuner bumped the redline to 8720. The car has more track miles than street miles. ( ODO currently sitting at 6200 and change.)
The cars with the sofa seats ( comfort package heated/cooled seats) are plenty comfortable for road trips. I drove mine from Nola to Houston and Nola to Austin a few times each with no complaints. Mine is caged and I'm running CF seats ( because racecar and I dropped 30 lbs per seat.)
the cars do have a tendency to tramline quite a bit though.
When you wring the car out to 8250, it is a religious experience. It is addictive. All of the hype is 150% true. With all of my track focused mods, I'm turning lap times that are 1-2 seconds faster than what I was turning in my old '11 gt3rs. ( same track, same temps, etc.)
For me, it is a track car. Driving it on the street is just asking for the little kid in me to go fast and get a speeding ticket. ( got nailed doing almost triple the speed limit but thankfully got out of it.) It would be fun to do goldrush or something with it, BUT my wallet and the adult in me keep the car on the track.
If I had to choose one or the other, I'd choose the raptor.
Although, it is interesting that in a sub $70K ford, you fit right in with dudes rolling in $300K maclarens, etc. And in many cases, the gt350 gets MORE attention. It is a LOUD car and you will not be incognito anywhere that you go.
With the street shoes on:
