I would go for something like this:
224/230 .581"/.592", 114lsa+1
Or for softer lobes
224/230 .568"/.573", 114lsa (this one is with no advance, straight up +0)
The VE's are specialy formulated for FI
IMO, you should send your heads to TEA for a Stage 1 or 1.5 porting, since 4.8/5.3 heads flow weakly in stock form, but with a port job, they are some of the best.
That ride will make tons of power.
