Default cam question?

Ok so here is the deal. My buddy is giving me his cam out of his motor. Now keep in mind this is a mild cam for his setup and was DD it. Now I know in my car its going to be more aggressive but that doesnt bother me.

His cam which cam out of a 408. 236/240 600/600 on a 113 plus 4. Now my plan is to try to get a set of patriot 5.3 heads and bump the compression up to 10.75 or 11.0. And if I cant get the heads right away I will swap in a set of his low milage dual gold valvesprings good for 660 lift.

So do you guys think this thing will work out all right and what should I expect. I do plan on getting a FAST setup eventually too.

The car now has a 224/224 563/563 112 with a ls6 intake and pacesetter longtubes and a 4.11 gear.

Maybe Don, you can chime in on this. I know bigger isnt always better, but this might be the kick my motor needs.
