JEGS ANSWER:

Thank you for giving JEGS the opportunity to assist you with your technical question. 243 heads are the best upgrades for a 5.3 as a bolt on budget head. If you want something we sell, you can look at the small bore LSX heads.

As far as added horsepower, you will get a lot. Those heads on an all stock setup which will make 40-60 more hp and with a mild cam, they will pick up too 100hp with no other changes. If you need any additional help, please reach out to us 24/7.
