Default 300 vs 350 3.5L actual differences?

Anyone know what the real differences are between the 2 engines?
Is it compression, valves, injectors, or just tuning??

thanks

Well, what I was thinking, .... is that IF it's the exact same engine, just with a different ECM Tune, ... then it would seem possible to RE-Tune the 255 Horse model for 305 Horses.
