Go with the T2, the 231/237 is a good cam, its actually one of TSP's first cam designs, but you should see better #'s from the T2 , and the hp should come in at a lower rpm range too... Do a search on the T2 , im sure u wont be disappointed

Wont answer all your questions but its pretty close. The 2 newer cams including the Trqer 2 use comp xer lobes as opposed to the lunati ground 231/237. A lot gets picked up in the midrange.

I'm going T2 cause it sounds badass and makes good numbers. I haven't heard the 231/237 though, but people seem to be happy with both.

233/239 will make more power than the 231/237, especially at low-mid rpms, and it would sound bad-*** on 112. I think it'll make more peak power than the Torquer v2, too. There's no way you'd be unhappy with any of these 3...

I love my Torquer2, like the others said, the XER lobes are more agressive and boost your low end.
