If the heads are good I would expect to rev higher than 6500 with that cam.
I see a lot of "similar to XXXX heads" claims and rarely is that actually the case.
If a local shop does good work then great give them a shot, but don't compare them to something else till you have a result.

It really personal preferance on streetability.
It has a fair amount of overlap and a pretty wide split, but without info like the valve timings and ramp rate we can't say too much.
It will make good power with a nice set of heads, but may need a little bit more rpms then 6500.

It's not as simple as just changing LSA to change the characteristics of a cam. You also need to compensate with how much advance you have when you do this. And you really need to know how this all is gonna effect your valve events.
lol okay scratch the custom cam. whats a good off the shelf cam that will give me roughly 400whp. the heads have comp springs good up to .600 lift. the main thing is drivability 
If the heads turn out to be close to LE2's, you have proper supporting mods, and you get a GOOD dyno tune it should do 400rw+. Id say shifting @6800 rpms, if you have 3.90/4.10/4.30 gears it shouldnt be any issue to DD.
