Default Questions about VRX5 and SI5 cams

I would like to know if there is going to be much difference in the low end torque? The VRX5 is 236/238 113 LSA and the SI5 is 231/237 112 LSA. With either of these cams, I would want them ground on a 111 LSA, which should help with low end torque, right? I'm looking for something that isn't too big to where the car lags down in the lower RPM's, but I also don't want to go too small and end up wanting more. Would love to hear your opinions on these two cams.

By the way, the car is a stock headed 02 WS6, six speed, lid, ported TB, headers, true dual exhaust, stock gears.

0.050 - 0.050
231 - 231
237 - 237
111 - 112
108 - 108


7.5 - 7.5 -IVO
43.5 - 43.5 -IVC
52.5 - 54.5 -EVO
4.5 - 2.5 - EVC
114 - 116 - ECL
12 - 10 - OVERLAP

That would be the VEs for the 231 cam, I like the 112 better
