For $700 you should be able to buy a decent 5.3. I guess the the smaller one would respond to the cam, but maybe not as well. In a 5.3 I'd just do the cam and not as agressive as this one. The head work is pretty spendy for the little bit of gain. I hear the 6.0 cam in a 5.3 is a great (CHEAP) swap as a lot of guys pull the stock 6.0 cam for a bigger cam so ebay is a good place to look.
