Not sure what your wanting to spend.
I have this setup for sale
5.3 ported and polished heads With Custom Grind 584 595 232 232 Cam,LSA 113,Comp Duel Valve Springs, Comp Lifters And Push Rods
and SLP Long tube headers.
I'm going with a 408 and T88 Turbo, this setup has less than 3000 miles on it.
I will have it out and ready to ship in a week

Check their Cheater cam and PRC 2.5 R heads. Talk to Jason... He'll hook you up.

When you say 5.3--does that its for a 5.3 motor ? Please forgive me I am a beginner at this stuff.

You have already done the intake, a set of LT headers will let the car
breath reaping you much better results from your performance mods. Your
throwing money away if you install h/c and don't do headers!!

I have GM Performance Parts CNC Ported/polished heads with a 228/228 .590/.590 112lsa cam and a few other mods. The car just put down 450RWHP and the driveability is great. You are wasting your time if you don't do headers at the same time.
