If you are mechanically inclined the cam swap is very straight forward and pretty simple. There are alot of write ups available for cam swaps on LS series engines floating around. If you do a little searching you will find them with no hassle.
As far as what cam to buy, thats really gonna depend on your goals with the car, there is ALOT of options out there.

Do you have an auto or manual? A manual has more options available to you (since you don't have to worry about a stall converter). Guys like Spinmonster and Patrick G can help you pick out a cam that best suits your needs.

Are cammed cars allowed in Sweden? I spent some time in Malmo working over the years and I was under the impression that big loud thumping cars were a no no.
Anyway. If you're looking for a good drivable cam that makes good power go with Spins 230/234 cam. Makes almost 500 rear wheel in a LS3. If you want all out max effort go with the G6X3. The G6X3 might not pass emissions testing in Sweden

I couldn't resist.There is a ton of info on this subject. My cam-only LS3 made 494/443 and runs 10.8@128.
I have posted a ton of info/questions so feel free to search for threads I've started.
There are also a ton of other knowledgeable guys on this forum as well.

I'd reach out to some of the experts since you have a unique situation. I know my car wouldn't pass emissions but Florida doesn't care too much about that.

Yep, definitely possible. Lots of people have been there/done that before you so doing a search can yield some great results.
500whp is relatively easy to obtain with full bolt-ons and a cam. If you're going to do a cam, I'd do an underdrive pulley as well for an additional 7-10whp.
