I have a 99 5.3 that's going in my 02 silverado that currently has a 4.8 and the 5.3 has 862 heads and I found a set of 799 heads on a 5.3 in a savannah van and I was wondering what heads were better with a small cam and 75 hp shot of nitrous

799!
If you use the 799s you will gain flow, but lose compression. If you swap the 4.8 pistons into the 5.3 with the 799s and a cam you would have a great combo. Powerful for sure.
You could also mill the heads. It takes .007" milling to remove 1cc from an LS1 head.
If you have a stock 66cc chamber and you want to get down to 63cc chamber,
66-63 = 3 (you'll have to remove 3cc's)
.007 x 3 = .021"
So to get your 66cc chambers down to 63cc you'd have to mill .021"
