It would be helpful for you to note your background so that we can understand your point of view.
The main reason a wing mounted jet reacts differently is the location of the engine along the centerline/CG , the distance the engines are from the centerline/CG, and that the engine are located below the CG. I'm not saying that there isn't any intake drag or effect, but I don't believe that it can outweigh design/placement of the engine or outweigh the surface area effect from the vertical stab.
