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....

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