i wouldnt use 5.3 heads on a 6.0 block with FI, you dont want the CR high.
use the 6.0 heads
might need to set up to a bigger head unit as well like an F1 whats your power goals

If you are going to stick with the SC, I agree with Smokin', go with the F1. Also ditch the ATI intercoolers for a good front mount and definatly add a custom pulley system or SDCE tensioner.

Also look at other similar set-up like BIGBOS and Evil F1, they should be able to tell you did and did not work for them.

Later,
Dave

HPE 408 stroker w/ 8.5 compression--NICE
HPE 5.3 heads flowing 330 intake--WILL NEED BIG TIME DISHED PISTON THEN
Procharger D1SC 8 rib w/ steel bracket 18# boost twin intercooler--A LITTLE SMALL
smc alcohol injection kit--NICE
supercharger cam 248/248 .630/.630 115--NICE
kooks 1 7/8 headers--NICE
ls6 intake--NICE
ported tb--NICE
granatelli maf--PASS
Complete fuel system--NICE
80 lb. injecters--DEFINITELY or 60's

John thanks for your reply. Would you recommend using my stock Maf over the granatelli unit.

You WILL have to step up to a bigger head unit... i believe there is only one person running 17 psi on a D1-SC...(NOGO) and his is on a 383..... but i have never seen anyone make that much boost with the stock POS twin intercoolers. Ditch them.... do a search many of us have done them.
For a big cubed motor like this why not look into the new LS2 90MM intake.... its cheap... around $250 and then buy the FAST 90MM TB for $489.... wich really brings it to $389 for you since you were going to pay to port the stock one.......

No wwhen you sat complete fuel system do you mean that you are going to run a standalone managment system??? or a impedence box to run the 80# injectors on a stock PCM???? Now one of th emost important things you for got......... DRIVETRAIN. How do you plan on putting the power to the ground.... and please dont tell me thru a 4L60E......

how much power

Thanks for all the great responses
From my understanding on the 5.3 head I'm going with from HPE it is a cnc'd head from someone who can customize the head with a larger cc chamber and that is what I will be getting. HPE is doing the whole long block with I mean every part and building it for 20# of boost.

I have addressed the head unit issue and ordered my kit with the F1 blower instead of the D1SC. I Not to crazy about cutting into the front bumper to mount a front mount intercooler. Nor do I have the Money right know. Maybe some time in the future. What is the bigger problem with the twin coolers? Is it they don't cool as well as a front mount? Or is it more they restict flow bad and make it harder to make boost?
This ls2 intake sounds really good are these avalible yet ? Who sells them Gm? I know the ls2 has some differences is this intake a complete bolt on or is some modification required?
I had planned on using the stock pcm. Is an impedence box required on injectors this large? and if so about how much?

As for the drivetrain I was going to go with a ford 9'' Should I stick with posi or go w/ a locker?
I currently selling my built 4l60, and getting a TH350. Who sells a well built Th350 At a decent price?

Thanks again for all your help you yall have already kept me from making a few mistakes!!
