We have sold similar setups. Although for a 5.3 I would suggest using our PRC 5.3 heads, in that heads and cam package.

I'm going to try and decode your english real quick then answer your quesiton. Okay got it for an N/A setup there is no reason you should be doing a 5.3 IMO, you are looking at probably around a 50-75rwhp difference with the the LS1 over the 5.3 with a H/C package.

Yeah, a lot of people will do the 5.3s for boost applications, not a great idea for an N/A setup ecspecially if you already have the LS1.
