Welcome to the site.
If that 12 yr old engine has not been re-built yet, I doubt that you will ever benifit from a bigger cam. With already low cylinder pressures, the ECm will never allow enough timing advance to obtain a noticeable horsepower increase. There is actually a decent chance that a larger cam might decrease performance.
Just my $.02

What type of sound are you trying to achieve by changing a cam? Other than too much duration, and overlap, that will produce a lumpy idle. (This will be out of stock ECM parameters anyway), you will not accomplish any noise differences. If you are looking for sound, just change the muffler????
