Yeup, you might notice the difference. To make it all worth while though, I'd recomend the adjustable cam wheels to get the most/best out of that cam. You will definately notice the difference then.

mild cam is the key phrase with a stock 2L, they don't have enough compression in stock form to use an agressive cam. You will notice a difference in the midrange with the right cam

and then use the adjustable cam wheels like narfire mention?

the hole for the pin that keeps the cam from spinning on the pulley, if you drill a hole in another area with the
right location you can change the timing that way without adjustable timing gears.
