I would not say the 5.3's are better than 243's..Its all about the package and the desired performance you are trying to achieve from your car. You can see great examples of power made from both sets of heads. My suggestion to you is do a little more research, and make a more informed decision for you. Trust me I have maid some hasty decisions that had I thought them thru, I would be closer to the finish line with my car then what I am. Double buying parts is for the birds. For my money I would probably do a used set of 243s ported by AI/TEA or TSP. Good luck!!

the power is in your heads.. Save your money,maybe you can get a paper route and save up and buy some good heads like AFR or TRICKFLOW. The wait is worth it. You will gain more power and have a better product. I have had two sets of sponsor/cnc factory ported heads,a set of trick flow and a set of afr. they kill the factory porteds.
