for drivebility, it's almost stock, you'll be happy once your RPM past over 3500.
You won't gain that much from just swapping cam and spring.
10-20HP

I gained over 30 at the wheels with that cam in my '99 Z71 I had. I have the dyno graphs to prove it. A very nice gain over stock and a fun cam to have in a DD. I will definately go bigger in my Ave though.

and makes your truck overall less enjoyable to drive. Is it a daily driver or a race car? Just remember, build and design intelligently, not because you think bigger is better.

Z06 cam wasn't my first choice, I had custom ground from comp cam but they ground it wrong and unfortunately didn't go in. so Z06 cam was my second choice my mechanic had take out from Z06, had no choice to put that or stock, so I went with LS6cam.
Go with bigger cam if you are swapping cam to LS6.

if you swap cam, most likely you need to tune. Idle maybe very rough, you'll definately notice it.
stall, I dont you need to tune after stall install, but it's best if you get it done and tune it, because you could gain more from tuning, also not to mention importance of tuning for various reason. shifting point, revs limits, timing, and etc.
