Why did you have reverse split on teh old one? Id look for something ground on the XER lobes instead of the softer XE. For that reason alone id go with the 233/239 instead of teh 231/237

I suggest you go take a look at some local cammed cars to get a feel for how big a cam you can really live with. Its not gonna drive like stock.
So yea, not sure which to go with. So confused. lol.
The car will be driven somewhat often (but not all the time) and It will be in orlando (heat).

Can you explain how this will affect driveability?

With a good tuner, the drivability of any of those cams will be fine. the engine will just have a little more lope to it. And you might have your idle bumped up a hair. Its all about your tolerance level

I know this is unsolicited advice, but I'd try and pick up a budget set of heads. The drivability that you're going to give away for 10hp wouldn't be worth it to me. I say heads that flow better and have smaller chambers.

I have the tsp 233/239 right now and i'm still getting used to it but already feel like I should've gone torquer v3 or ms4. Driveability is not as bad as I thought, really the only difference in driveability is you have to rev slightly more to get moving so that it won't sound like it's dieing but honestly I thought that was gonna suck but I don't even notice it.. Other then that the only other driveability issue I have is I have a heavy foot and those tires like to spin . Cam surge is kinda annoying but I only have it when I get off the throttle completely, most of it will be gone after the tune. Go bigger, you won't regret it. Also might I add that I went with this cam on my daily driver, i'm 19, I drive this car for work and school everyday(my only car). I drive on average 250-300 miles a week.
