For the price of the parts and machine work, I'd just go for the 6.0. Not to mention, there are no guaranties that you'll be able to get the 5.3 out to 5.7 after you get it sonic checked

Just my .02

I swapped out the 4.8 in my '03 for a lq9. Runs good, love the truck.

But, for nearly the same money, I could have turbo'd my 4.8. And I would be blowing my doors off right now.
