i already have a set of stage 2 853's and wanted to pair them with a tr224 cam, the car will have LT headers. You thank maybe that with a 5.7 will get me to 400rwhp?

they'll fit but I'm thinking too much compression for pump gas. the lq4 might work better. you can bore a 5.3 to a 5.7, with the right pistons those heads would be fine. to put a good combo together you need to do your home work. are the pistons flat top or dish? out of the hole and how much? how many cc's are the heads? and so on.
