i doubt anything that would show up on the dyno to be worth swapping from one to the other. both use comparable lobes. both cams are great for the street/strip, cant go wrong with either.

thats like asking should i **** the big breasted blonde or the big breasted brunette

Out of the two, I would get an FMS 226/226.... Different lobes, on sale for 369.99, SHOULD make a tad more power than both mentioned above....

Give FMS a call. I was on the phone with them earlier today and Candy mentioned alot of people from Cali buying the 226 to pass emmisions.

The 231/237 has rather soft lobes. I'm sure the smaller TSP cams run harder lobes.
Thunder's cams have damn hard lobes.

Looking at a thunder tr224/224 112 .580 or the fm-f2 112 or fm-f4 114 which won would pull the hardest in a 6 speed. Thunder or Futral
