in a 5.3 head I like to see the following things (N/A 346)

2.055/stock exh.(5.3)
intake port around 225-230cc flow... mid 250s @.400, low 320s @ .600
exhaust port around 75-80cc flow... 260-270 with a pipe at .600
chamber volume of about about 60cc

and always good consistancy plays a major role in a good head

hope this helps
