Might get more help in the Fueling forum, but you need to post more info to include what you will be doing with the car

Sorry about enough info wasn't using my head the 5.3 litre is mostly going to be stock really. I have a LS1 cam 496/496 lift, with a LS1 intake, with a LS1 throttle body. I am going with long tube headers, 3600 stall, 4l60E tranny, and a set of 373's and that's about it. Oh the heads are the 706's, they are out now getting checked and done.

Yea the 28.8# are way to go unless you got the $ for bigger for room to grow, but I'm running them on a ~400rwhp car no issues
