F9 questions thinking of purchasing the F9, 232"/236" .585"/.600" 114LSA. On Futural web site it says the cam is recommended for use with nitrous and blower application. Why is that???
Anybody have experience with it??? HP/TQ??? ET???

the way the lobes are on the cam. For some applications you might see that the lobes on the cam are very circular with almost no "peak" so to say. Other have a very sharp peak to have very little overlap in the opening of the valves. I would go by what they say on their website. You might see gains if you just go NA with it, but not much compared to the gains that you would see in a NA cam.
It all depends on what your goal is. If you think you are going FI then get it and put it on a shelf till you get that blower or nitrous kit installed. If you are going NA then I would stay away from the FI specific cams as you will see better results with the NA cams.

there are plenty of camshafts on the market. Call them and tell them what you want and they will most likely have something that will suit your desire. You will get a faster and/or more accurate response than posting on here.

It just means that the valve events (IVO,IVC,EVO,EVC) are exhaust biased which facilitate gases to exit and produces more power under boost situations.
Also an exhaust biased cam is more peaky and power falls faster after peak than an intake biased cam from TDC.
