With a freeflowing exhaust like you have LTs ORY @ Loudmouth, I don't think a 3" cutout in the I pipe would be worth more than 2-3rwhp. I only gained 4rwhp @ 5rwtq with mine. Corsa then thru the 2.5" CME tips.

I have nothing against FMS cams b/c I'm going to one soon, but just fyi I swapped from a Comp 224/581 cam to my current cam in the sig. Just from the swap alone I picked up .4 in the 1/4 and 4 mph across the traps.

oh you too i'm really not feeling this cam...i drive a lot low-end so it's really not a good cam for me...i've been thinking about swapping out to the f-14...but then i figure i better wait so i can get a forged shortblock and do it then...i don't wanna go too crazy with a 100k mile engine...ya know

The 90/90 and QTP HVMC LT's really made some power available down low on my 231/237 setup. It's like night and day.

Power is kinda weak on the bottom, but it does come alive w/ the 231/237

If all you want is 11's...just get some gears and bam. If you're desperate to get rid of that 224, go FMS all the way. The TSP 231, Torquer, 235/240, MS3 all seem to disappoint on the dyno.
My TSP 235/240 didn't disappoint me at the dyno. I say put in the MS3. Just remember, the bigger the cam, the more important it is to have a free-flowing exhaust system, which is not easy on an fbody unless you dump before the rear axle.
