Default 4.8 L Cam questions

First off, sorry if I am in the wrong area, not quite sure where to go for 4.8L LR4 stuff. I am getting ready to do an engine swap into my offroad only rock crawler. I need power off idle, but also up to 6000 rpm. I have found a custom ground cam fthat I thought about running. Specs are: 222/216 .566/.561 on a 113 LSA

I have a set of 5.3 cathedral port heads to install on the motor as well. What kind of power would I be looking at with this cam, or would it be a complete waste for me to use it?

Looks like a good cam for stock heads and will have torque in the lower rpms where you want it... Make sure to throw some headers on it..

It's a reverse split cam. Generally reserved for engines with crappy intake and excellent exhaust systems. It should provide good low end power. I'm not sure how,it will act up top tho.
