good luck with this build man... i think those heads r going to provide some tuning issues, on the bright side you should be making some bad *** torque and boost out of that 5.3..

C'mon guys, help this guy out

It seems like there will be too high of compression for boost with those heads to me, but I'm not 100% sure...I'm sure that someone here knows though

If you did go with that setup it would have great power if it was ever out of boost and would not take much boost to add power. But a little lower on the compression would not hurt

Thought that made sense. I want to avoid Meth, but Ill have to cool this air somehow.
