Which Cam??? I hear a lot of people talking about the 231/237 cam, and also the TR224. Which cam is putting down better reusults overall as far as HP, TQ, idle,
and low speed driving, and running the a/c. More power is good, but what about drivability and comfort like on the highway and from red light to red light 231 or 224 ???

More power in which part of the rpm range, there is alot of cams to choose from some work better with different mods. Do a search and read up on bunch of things. Id say the 224 but alot can be said on how the tuning of the car is done. Tuning can make or break drivablilty.

so a good tune could make a 231/237 run like a 224.

I'm sure some folks will say so, but no it won't have the characteristics of a 224. Even with tuning. Very good tuning can somewhat tame a 231 duration cam, but not nearly to the degree that you can a 224.
The 224 cam is a very good middle-of-the-road cam. A very good street cam.
