Check the common questions at the top of the internal engine page, it gives specs for both types of heads.

It would lower you comression severly. The intake runners are larger. So you lose compression and velocity. Both hurt torque directly. To answer you question, no it would not be a good idea to change out the heads. Get your 5.3's ported and then you would go somewhere.
