Default Which cam for nitrous?

My current Comp 212/218 .554 115 LSA or changing it to the TR 224/224 .586 112 LSA.

(Only going with 100 dry due to the car being lowered and running a 26" tire with 4.10 gears) I'd have to change back to stock springs to run a 28" tire and my stock springs are long gone.

Just wondering, my motor is coming out and going back in balanced and forged. The current cam has ET'd the car on motor between 12.20 @ 115.44 to 11.92 @ 116-117 in the last 2 yrs. We are only going to add a dry shot on it for little more fun. I am wondering duration wise since the current cam makes nice power now being a split cam would it be better for alittle spray? Or up the cam to a bigger one?

Just wondering which cam would work better with the nitrous. I may up it later on into a wet shot.

TIA

For a small 100>150 shot any cam will do fine.
So if it is better that you choose the cam that will work best for you NA.

If you want to stay streetable, but with a cam that you can use with bigger shots, then this is one of my favorites:
224/230, .581"/.592", 114lsa+1 (XE-R)

any cam is nitrous friendly, I would get a decently sized cam in the 230 range and you will get your lost tq. back with the juice.
