Given your exhaust lobe selection you really don't have a ton of p/v clearance on the exhaust side. You definately want to keep that in mind when selecting your cylinder head. We sell alot of our PRC stage 2.5 5.3l heads for camshafts that size, or possibly even the PRC Street LS6 heads. Either combo should add approx. 45rwhp & is in stock & ready to ship! Here's the link for specs:

TFS heads will give you the most PTV clearence and more HP than above. It will cost you more too.

If you can afford TFS or ETPerformance, go that route. If not TEA has some great heads that are a little more affordable.

TFS heads will allow for a little more piston to valve clearance and make very nice horsepower. They would work really nice with the split you have in your camshaft.
