That's one of the cams I have been looking at. That cam will be pretty noticable with that exhaust duration. Also your going to need a better flowing exhaust for that cam(ie.. LT headers, and a good cat-back or cut-out) to get the most of it.

My .02 worth...
Might want to get a cam kit from FMS with the proper springs etc as the lobes on the FMS cams are very aggressive. Some commonly used springs won't last long with the FMS cam. I think powerwise one of the FMS cams would be the way to go. Their 228/230 might also be well worth considering too especially if your thinking about doing heads later on.
FlowTech a sub of Holley is doing the Hooker design header for a lower price. These just came out, I don't know about the quailty but image they are on par with the Hookers. Speed Inc and some other sponsors are selling them. ~$269 uncoated and ~$379 coated, Y pipe was $129 uncoated. TSP has a new catback similar to Loudmouth called the Rumbler but with the bullet in the I pipe probably a little more refined sounding. It's like $225 or so instead of ~$325 for Loudmouth.
Be sure you really want a Loudmouth w/long tubes & no cats before you do it. It's really loud and many find it unpleasant to deal with on a daily basis. Something like an SLP dual/dual and cutout or a Borla w/plates IMO is a better set up to live with on a daily basis.

what i would really like to do is get a "stealthy" cam. i've seen MTI, TR224, and GT2-3 come up a lot. then i found this cam. which would you recommend? have any of you had any problems with the cams you've put in?
