PP meaning ported and polished or Patriot Performance? If you can score a set of ported 5.3's for $250, do it. If they're stock, no, they're not worth it. All they'll do is bump compression up a bit.

If that's the case, then they'll be as good as your work. If you know what you are doing, then you stand to gain from increased flow and compression.

I'd figure out what cam you'll be running first as that will have some bearing on your decision.
