I had the low lift 212/218 in my 5.3 which done pretty good but could have been bigger. I'd get a custom grind though....

the only thing I dont like about the 212/218 is the 115lsa...

but I had the low lift version and loved it...

if you are going to go with a converter later on down the road, I would get the 216/220...
