Default torquer V2 or Comp cam 224/230

hello vetters
I'm a little hesitant about the following cams Torquer V2 v.s. Comp cam 224/230
I am interested in the torque more than hp with keeping in mind the drivability.
many vetters guys in CF recommend torquer V2 which can give 420 hprw and 400 torque on rear wheel based in some results in CF
but it needs to replace the torque converter for at less 3000 stall
while the other cam which is Comp cam 224/230 does not need a replace for the torque converter and can give 430hprw and at least 410 torque on rear wheel.

my 1999 corvette is A4 with:
vararam, 90 TB, 92 fast intake, 243 heads MTI stage 2
kooks long tube 1-3/4 with xpipe and corsa catback
rear end 3.1 with 19" wheel

please I need to make it easy and clear for me..
V2 or Comp?

Do some more research on cams and you will find out that your going to want to replace your factory converter with either cam you have listed.
Also don't get hung up on the torque number or Hp, these are max numbers. What you really want is what is usable the way you drive your car.
Personally I have the 224/230 cam with a 2800 PI and 3.42 axle and love the combo, it works great in normal driving and really kicks a** when in boost.
