Default 6.1 cam swap

Hey all, was wondering how much of an undertaking it would be, and whats all involved as far as other parts that need to be replaced when you swap out the cam. My buddy was telling me about it and i have heard of guys putting in the cam from the 6.1 into their 5.7. What kinda gains do you see from this? any input is greatley apperciated

From what I've heard, there's a COMP Cams camshaft that is better suited for a truck engine, better low and mid range.
