I also plan on putting cut-outs sometime in the near future as well. If that makes a difference i don't know. I'll also have it re-tuned probably with ls1-edit instead of the predator. Thanks for the help.

........why don't you first look into some long tube headers and the other cheap mods? These will probubly get your the gains you are looking for, will cost you less, not cause you any problems, and will help out down the road if you do get a cam.You don't need a cut out with a LoudMouth (there isn't anything there to bypass).
I say this because I don't see your goals go along with a cam swap. You are going to give up drivability, gas mileage, and reliability for HP that you could get somewhere else.

You need LT headers and a good exhaust system to get the most out of your cam. I would go with an MTI cam if you want a shelf cam. something in the 218 to 222 duration with a 112 LSA would be a perfect cam for a daily driver.
