Default 6.0 vs 5.3

I got to thinkin a bit and was wonderin how much of a difference i would get if i did a 6.0(LQ9) swap then a 5.3. I did some lookin on the DTL and found some info but it didn't help enough. So what would the power/trq difference be from a
6.0 LQ9(prolly with a 4L80e)
Full Bolt on
and 226~ cam

then a
5.3
Full bolt on
and 222~ cam
?
