The best head for a 5.3 would probably be the TrickFlow 4.8/5.3 heads

some 215cc AFRs would be nice on a 5.3.. Your best budget head is gunna be prc heads but there's always something better just depends on what you wanna spend

We do not know the individual gains. We did the heads and cam at the same time. Gained approximately 70rw doing those heads and our HT1 Cam through Pacesetter LTs an a Flowmaster.
