My cam specs are 218/218 .528/.528 113lsa 110ic. On my NX 100 shot (wet of course), with no fuel or ignition upgrades at all yet, I gained right at 113rwhp! I beleive that until you go to a larger shot (at least 125 if not more), even a traditional duration like mine will still perform very well with nitrous.
Part of the reason mine performs so well could also be that NX RULES ALL!<a href=\"http://www.fullthrottlev6.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.fullthrottlev6.com</a> THE SOURCE!

A "Nitrous cam" would be a cam that favored the exhaust with either more exhaust duration or more exhaust valve lift or both.
This really isn't an issue until you run a BIG shot. With stock internals, its not really an issue. Just get a really nice flowing exhaust setup (headers, cat, whatever else.) If you still want to have a more nitrous friendly cam, find a nice NA cam and just add a few degrees exhaust duration, then check out the valve timing that is presented to find a good LS/IC.1997 Chevrolet Camaro v6 - 13.8@104MPH

Umm....so what is the best cam to use for nitrous? Like is there on that provides less overlap making it safer to shoot, or should i just use comp cams?<hr></blockquote>
Something is a little wierd with your perception of a Cam. Comp cams doesn't make a set "CAM" for our cars. They have cores, and then you pick the specs, out of hundreds of them and they work it into the core. A nitrous cam, can be a comp cam, depending on specs, thats all that matters, SPECS, not BRANDS.... Does that help any?1997 Chevrolet Camaro v6 - 13.8@104MPH
