  • whats a good nitrous cam??

    Would a CAM-902 - INTENSE™ Stage 2 Turbo Cam, duration @ .050": 214º/206º, lobe lifts: .331"/.320", valve lifts with 1.60:1 rocker arms: .530"/.512", lobe separation angle: 116º, intake centerline: 110º
    Work with nitrous?? I dont know jack crap about cams and what they mean other than hp if you get the right one. And yes i see its for turbos but will it work??

    the Xp cam from zzp is a good one for superchargers and nitrous. Arthansen had one on his nitrous car and made some good power. Lance from abbotts runs the abbotts NA cam with nitrous and makes great power as well. Just some options there for ya

      That turbo cam would not be the best choice for nitrous.

      You want a split duration cam favoring the exhaust, with a decent LSA to gain the most benefits from nitrous.

      I was always a big fan on the Intense Stage 1x N/A cam to be used as a nitrous cam. Although I never got a chance to install it I believe it would produce both great results n/a and sprayed.

      CAM-361 - INTENSE™ Stage 1X Normally Aspirated Cam, duration @ .050": 212º/216º, lobe lifts: .327"/.321", valve lifts with 1.60:1 rocker arms: .523"/.514", lobe separation angle: 113º, intake centerline: 109º

      On a side note the XP cam I believe is a split duration cam favoring exhaust and has a even wider LSA meaning it would pickup a lot of power if you sprayed it, however with the wider LSA you do give up a little N/A (you would still gain N/A HP, just not as much as possible with a smaller LSA cam)

              Ideally you would want to favor the exhaust, like was previously said.
              Keep in mind if you are buying a NITROUS cam, it is designed for a BIG shot.

              A NA, symmetrical lobe cam would work fine for anything up about a 150 shot I would say. Even then, it won't hurt you, it just won't be maximized.
              I run a comp cams 216/216 112LS 108IC
              It ran like a raped ape on spray.
              Just make sure you have a good exhaust setup.

                  Get a high flow cat.
                  Depending on how many miles your stock cat has on it, it will help you out considerably NA also.

                  Mine had 65K on it and was clogged. I went from 16.1 to a 15.2 with just a cat. Results are probably not typical though!

                    yea that thing must have been bigtime clogged or the weather was really bad on that 16.1

                    My stock cat has 102k on it and looks like new yet (unless the previous owner replaced it before I bought it with 78k miles). When I installed my headers I looked into my cat and the combs were perfect. So I left the stock cat on there.
