That is a tried and true good horsepower setup. Bigblock torque and great horsepower. A lot of guys on here have similar setups and should be really helpfull on the build. Go for it.

you are going to have to get some 6.0 heads unless you run moderatively low boost and have forged pistons. if im right, 5.3 heads on stock dish LQ4 pistons will net about a 10.5:1 compression, not good for boost.

other than that it sounds good

Just wondering, why the 5.3 heads? If your building a motor, and putting forged pistons in it, you can get them in the configuration to get the comp you want. unless your going to use high compression with a 112 compressor and not try to run a lot of boost, other wise, I would think you would want a lower comp and a 122 compressor so its more in its efficiency range on the 6L.

Sounds like a great combo but I'd get some 317's and crank it up. Power is made with Boost over Timing over compression.
