your opinion on Nitrous express cam?
I just got what i think is a pretty good deal on a NX cam. 235/239 Dur 600/580 lift 112 lobe Paid 275 for it. Is it worth a crap? Good deal?

looks like it would be a decent cam.good duration and a 4 deg split to help the the exh out. with the low lift for the duration it should not be that hard on the valvetrain
I would say run it .you will like it.

I ran a 238/242 xer grind 112/112 in my heavy pig gto with a 150 shot and went 11.29 with a 1.95 60ft
also had a 3000 stahl and 3.46 gears
a 235/239 is not small by no means nor is it a huge cam by any means
just my opinion though. he already bought it run it. if you dont like it pull it out and sell it.
atleast then you will have a better idea of what you want in the next one

Damien.....Why is that you don't like cams on a lower LSA. I admit that my 111 is kinda bitchy on cold start but after a minute it is as well mannered as stock and actually has better power top to bottom. I think the cold start issues are because the tuner never took the time to dial it in. He is 90 miles away so it is not real convienent to get it back to him for a touchup....
Just want your insight,,,,,,

SOM, I guess probably because I'm getting older so choppy *** cams are starting to annoy me.
In all seriousness, over the past couple of years I've used/installed a TON of vendors cams. Ranging from 220 all the way up into the 240's. After doing so many of these, I tend to like cams in the 112-114LSA range in the upper 220's/lower 230's. They make the best all around power, power under the curve, provide the best driveability, and are much easier to tune.
Also, some guys live for tuning and enjoy it. I personally don't care to spend a entire day (or 2) dialing in a large cam on a 110-111LSA, when I can spend about 30 minutes MAX dialing in a 112-114 cam and the customer will love the way it drives with no complaints. I don't care what anyone on this board says. No way, no friggin how is a 224 110 cam going to drive better than a 224 112-114 cam, PERIOD. Or any other similar grind.
My last reasoning, is because I make plenty power under the curve with my cam choices on higher LSA's. Most of the cars I do start pulling hard @ 2500rpms. If you need TQ below that, buy a golf cart.
