I have seen them in the for sales here for $50 or so. There was a thread in here not long ago about this. You may want to search it. In a nutshell, that cam will make more power and torque for you but it will be moved up signifigantly in the RPM range. I suspect you have a truck and if you tow at all this will not be good. It also does not pair up well with the added weight of a truck.
BTW, your 5.3 heads are better for your application than LS6 heads. I would just port your 5.3's
