New GM 5.7 next Saturday

I'm having a brand new GM 5.7 crate motor installed next Saturday in my 99(OBS) K 1500. I'm looking for break in advice, bolt on performance parts advice and any general information you guys can give me. I'm new to all this! It seems these engines should make a lot more power than the stock...
