Talking FM13 is in!

Got it installed today. Upgraded from a TR224/112lsa.
Cam specs are: 230.7/232.3 .595/.585 112lsa
Cam pulls noticably harder in the mid-upper rpms over the old cam.
Driveability is actually better(still on TR224 tune also). I can drive at 1500rpms in 6th and it doesn't surge like the 224 did.
Overall I am really impressed with the cam.
Look for new dyno #'s sometime next week

I've also been toying with the idea of swapping a FM11 or FM13 inplace of my TR224 but I'm gonna wait and see how the new heads work with my current cam. Down the road I may go the FM way but that will be the easy part as changing the cam is easy when you don't have to change the valvesprings.

How does it idle, is it choppy, or does it sound similar to stock?

It is kinda choppy. A different kind of choppy than the 224 though. Definitely not like stock. Sounds real good at idle through the cutout. I think I might have my tuner lower my idle also to give it just a little more chop, gotta intimidate those stangs at the stoplights!
