Personnaly Id go with the ls6 heads milled with a tighter gasket; they are alot more cost effective.

Richard @ West Coast Cyl. Head had some great information for me on a similar questions I had. Try giving him a shout.
Otherwise hardly anyone else will even reply to a question like this. I don't know why, but they just don't offer any expertise or opinions.

I posted this same wuestion just a short while back. I'm looking st the stage 1 5.3 heads from PRC (Texas Speed). Not much response. I would talk to Richard. Also, Allen (Nelson Performance) has a set of the 5.3 PRC heads. He said he is going to try to install them on his Avalanch this week maybe.

I neve rhave figured out why no one chimes in on questions like this one. I had a simple camshaft question about a Crane Z Cam Quicklift and if it hadn't been for Jared and BudHayes I don't think anyone would have responded.

2.00" valve size would be the max to go with a 5.3L bore.
tsp ls6 stage 1's http://texas-speed.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=649 there you go!
have them milled, run a thinner gasket to keep up the cr.
