Default AI Heads on a 5.3 Silverado

What does anyone think of the power output will this set up make. I have 5.3 with ported FAST LSXRT 102mm intake and tb, p&p 243/799 heads by AI and custom grind cam by AI (218/222 .600 grind). K&N cai, shorty headers, 3.90 gears, and a rebuilt tranny with a 3200 stall.

I will be getting a custom tune, I was thinking Wheatly.

did you mill those heads? if not you are losing compression on the 5.3 and that seems like alot of topend just to skimp on the exhaust running shorty headers.

If there's a chance that you're looking for higher compression heads for the 5.3, I have a set from Patriot, 60cc.

I plan on ditching the shorty's for sum stainless works lt. They heads are gonna be milled to reach the same compression as the original.

Did you mention if you were sticking to the 4L60E or doing something different on the rebuild? I may have missed it.

So you not only have a Fast 102 but a ported Fast 102? If so you may have more than a stock block 5.3 needs...
