228 or t2?? need to choose asap!!

ok guys i posted a week or so ago about looking for maybe a 228 or torquer2/3 and out of the spur of the moment kind of thing a local guy had a t2 on a 112 with 2500 miles on it for a damn deal so couldnt pass it up...but a guy said he is willing to trade me his 228 on a 114 if i swap it for him

im torn between the 2!! its forsure one of these cams just need help choosing between the 2 please help..

im looking for something i can drive with everyday and deal with in traffic but guessing either can work out good with a good tuner but that shouldnt be a issue out here with our tuners..something with good low to mid range and not going to sound like a ms4 lol thanks guys

So wait, you already have the T2? If that's the case just go with that so you don't have to do someone elses work.

I would honestly do the Torquer 2. You will be amazed how well your 228 cam will drive once its tuned that you wish you would have gone bigger. I have a 230 cam on 112 and never rode in a cammed car on my auto, and i could honestly say, i think something like the torquer 2 would easily be driven.
