need help with cam and heads
so I have a 00 ss with a tr 230 reverse split on stock 241 heads with ls6 intake. Car made 358hp/363tq to the rear wheels on a mustang dyno. Car runs a consistent 12.10.-.20 I am looking to make some more power with a budget head set up. I would also like to make sure this head and cam set up will be N20 friendly. I have been told the tr230 isn't really N20 friendly. Just looking for a little help from some experience people and vendors before spending any more money. Thanks ahead of time.

Well I run PRC 5.3 heads, and they are like $1300 from Texas Speed. As far as the cam goes with nitrous....I wouldn't worry at all if you are only spraying a 150 shot or less

nos adds a lot of cylinder pressure .depending on the amount of nos ,to run nos on pump gas you mite benefit from cam with a 112 +lsa and not much advance ground into the cam.a 100hp of nos with the right set up can reduce your et by .8.

The reverse split cams need a bit more exhaust than a conventional split, so they don't work quite as well with nitrous, but as was said, pretty much any cam works pretty well on a smaller <150 shot.
For the heads, AI or TEA. AI can port your stock heads for 995+springs and TEA can as well or sell you new 243s ported from 1199 (includes PAC dual springs and your core) or 1799 with new LS6 cores.
