Default Building a 5.3L L33 - What would you do?

I'm a new member here but I want to get a discussion going of what mods you guys would recommend for my L33 build. The engine already has 799 heads and I'm leaning towards an LS6 intake manifold and valve springs. I will be using long tube headers and probably a ported throttle body. Any thoughts?

There is a pretty good thread started on porting 799 heads, check it out. I'd port your heads. Then have them milled and valve job. Are running a manual or auto tranny and what are your plans for the car?

Bump! Curious to know as well. If I recall correctly the engine will be coupled w/T56 and swapped in a 2800lb RX7
