another "what about this cam" thread,sorry. I was offered a deal on a NIB custom LS1 cam for real cheap! the spec's are .231/.226 .600 lift on a 112LSA will this work good with a 02' WS6,yank 4000 stall,long tube headers,true duals,UD pulley,and tune and then a 100-125 hit of the sauce for emergency's only? 
and will this cam fit without flycutting?

A cam with a reverse split duration will SUCK for nitrous use. Nitrous causes your engine to have a huge increase in exhaust volume and generally works best with a cam having a traditional split, or even an extra few degrees on the exhaust side. I don't think it's a good cam design for what you're doing.

thats not necessarily true!! theres a couple people on here thats already busted 10's with a reverse split cam.. when u go over 150 shot of nitrous then the more traditional split cam is the way to go from what i was told by a couple of sponsors..

I think it will work, but from my understanding you can get more with a traditional split. I guess it depends how cheap you can get it for?
If I remember right, one of the respected guru's here said reverse splits tend to handle variances in exhaust systems well. Otherwords if you have a poor flowing exhaust you won't be affected as much as if you had a traditional split.
However, you said you have LT's and TD's... you have a great flowing exhaust. You can make more power on a traditional split.
Finally, I wouldn't worry too much about the nitrous... it will work with any cam and love it... however as you probably know, it is popular opinion that traditional splits work better with it.... I have no experience with that, so take it for what it is worth.
Happy Modding!

Not true. Look at times below with a TR230/224. It loved the juice.
