My version of a gen III 5.3 to be sorta comparable to the Gen 5 is to make it a 347, raise the compression to 10.4, improve the quench, a BTR stage 1 truck cam, 706 heads with 2" intakes, proper valve job, some minor valve unshrouding, porting and thermal barrier coated valves, TBSS intake, Long tube headers, 6.2L sized exhaust & cats behind the headers. Daily driver Tahoe. Waiting on the heads and machine work now.

If adding a turbo, upgrading pistons, rods, cam, lifters, head ported holley efi should i go with the full delete of everything and ls7 port injection?

They need a tiny bit of work to work but are $1000 less than the MSD intake. The Map sensor needs extended and brake vacuum port and valley vent are issues, but it will work with your super sneaky cowl induction.
