Rob, I know what you mean by the lack of torque on the 5.3s. I am not really impressed honestly. I put a 5.3 with a BTR stage 3 cam in my 71 Camaro. It has a Super T10 and 3.08s. You really have to give her some rpm's so she doesn't die on take off. Granted it's a bit drastic with the highway gears but still. Come on.
