I thought about heading out to RRR, but I was reading on thier site and it seems they are kinda a stickler about some safety things. Some of the things they had up there were kinda silly and a little over the edge. In reading some of the forums, it looked like they enforced them sometimes and had some people that they would just pick on and hold to the rules hard. One rule I had against me was a driveshaft loop for faster than 13.99 or with sticky tires, which would be grounds for me to be booted.

My best that night was a 15.0xx @ 93mph, I can't remember what your best was. I seen twobit's LS1 heads when he picked them up from kitlers, they looked pretty good for only $400.

You, me & Blake will have to meet up sometime soon though!
twobit: CARAZYCUTER4.8 is just kidding around. He doesn't realize that his 4.8 won't match up to the 5.3, even with a 2200 stall and 3.73 gears! (j/k Blake) His truck does pull good on the top-end.

Flyer: you're right about RRR. Some people they let do whatever and some they strictly enforce the rules. I've talked to a few F-body guys who swear they'll never go back because of it. I didn't have a problem with it this last time, but the other times I've been, the guy that tell you when to line up, burn out, etc. treated me like a big dumbass in front of everyone.

I didn't think about the bigger valves. For the 4.8 though ... that might be to much and cause you to loose all your low end grunt. With that Z06 cam, it will prolly pull even higher and be even peakier than it already is. I think I would stick with a 5.3 head and work them over.
That's about what I heard about RRR. I would have to say that if they treated me like a moron, I would have had to say something and probably wouldn't have been back. I just don't want to go over there, pay 25 to get in (me and my gf), make one run, or even better get the tires changed, and them not let me run for the driveshaft loop. I'd be a little pissed then.

Unless your going to boost it, i'd stick with 5.3 heads. They will produce more power with a little work than the 5.7 will. Look into what the car guys are running with really high N/A HP. Most use 5.3 heads because of the small combustion chambers.
Kind of a side note to that, when i boost my truck i am swapping the heads with the Camaro to drop compression on the truck and raise it on the car. More power for both. hehehe
