Better daily Driver Cam… TSP Torquer or 233/239 or HPE “S” Cam or what? Thought I had my mine made up, but now read different things all in my searches. Wanting a good daily driver cam that will work well with a 3500 stall auto, bolt-on, true duals car. Thanks for the help & suggestions.

The "S" cam is cut on a 115 LSA where as the TSP cam is cut on a 113 LSA. Both cams have a varable split, but I believe the S cam has a little more to make up some overlap. I'm gunna say the S cam would be more "tame" for your particular application.

Just a question though... on the LSA, why is it 112+2
I'm confused as to what the +2 is

The +2 just means that the cam is advanced 2 degrees, which is the same as putting the cam in the car, then turning it two degrees forward of the crank.
Here's a diagram to help explain LSA:
