No need to worry bout PTV with the smaller off the shelf cams.Plus stock heads lose steam at around 550 lift.

I do have a 99(first year the LS series was put in the trucks) 4.8 w/5spd manual trans. That's only a partial list of my mods. Richard of WCCH did my heads years ago. You probably heard of him. He knows his stuff. Start with the bolt on things. Then a BIG cam. Heads would be last. The elec water pump is overkill unless you have the money(too expensive) unless you like to go fast and spin the tires shifting into 3rd. Try that sometime with a 3.42:1 if you're N/A.

Personally i would switch up the cam a little bit... 212/218 .56x/.56x 112+4 if it were me... Texas Speed can custom gring that for you...
