Default Intake Manifold, Injectors, 6.0 to 5.3, Differences???

Just wanting to know if you guys knew of any differences in the intake manifold and injectors from a work truck 6.0 (I think LQ4) and my stock 5.3.

Also what did everyone agree on the flex fuel injector size? I believe last I heard was somewhere around 80 lbs.

Which company should I buy stage II heads from?

What year 5.3?? 99 5.3's had 19 lb/hr injectors if my memory serves me correctly. 2000 up had 24.7 lb/hr injectors. Intake should be the same.

Going to put some better heads on it just cause I can't think of anything else better to do but a supercharger. Need heads to hopefully help the cam out. Plus I think its going to be easier for me to swap the heads since I've got to get down there and tighten them head bolts. They are just barely hanging on. Do think my engine likes antifreeze cause it is pinging its *** off. I thought you'd be able to answer every one of my questions. But running 12.6's , I understand why your being so . Can't wait to see the tailgate again!

Yeah, right.... I've just got friends in "high" places that do all the work for me. I'm a ricer. I'm really looking forward to meeting up with you guys in Memphis alot this year. I'm going to check out the money races in Choctaw this weekend, and if the competition is steady and even, I'll have to get you guys to start coming down for a little profit.

Choctaw? Is that east, west, south, or I'm hoping north of Greenville? Would it be less than 2 hour drive from Memphis?

It's north of Greenville. It's not far south of Cleveland. I'd say it's a good 30 minutes north of Greenville. I'll check it out Sunday, and let you know what they have.
