Question Mildly built 5.3 here is what i got so far, now what?

2000 GMC 1500 reg cab short box 2wd with 5.3 motor, Thunder Racing TR224 on a 114 LSA 563 lift cam
Thunder Racing 7.4 pushrods
PAC 1218 single beehive valvesprings
Pace Setter Long tube headers
Cat delete
4000 Stall converter
NX 100 Shot, plate kit
true dual 3" exhaust with the Magnaflow race bullet mufflers.
HP Tuner and Wideband
3.73 gears w rear locker

Those are my mods so far. I was thinking of bolting on a nice set of heads to really wake the motor up. I figured if i do that might as well swap out to a fast intake system with a larger throttle body too. Im thinking these are the next best steps to take with the motor no???? Im here for advice. Are the Fast intakes pretty good quality and performing intake system? With that said what are a good head alternative for the 5.3 vortec motors??

All looks good besides the 3.73's. You run at the track right? What's your 60' time?
