Assuming all of the safety equipment, running colder plugs, fuel pump, tune, etc. etc. a 150 shot wet would be about the most you would want to run on the stock block. Could always play it a little safer and spray a 125 shot which is probaly what I personally would do but there are many people spraying 150 with zero issues.

In terms of cams...at that level of spray running a custom grind n20 cam or an off-the shelf with a wide lobe separation is not going to really benefit you at all over just any old off-the shelf. If the car is going to be sprayed constantly and/or with a bigger hit as in 200/250+ then yes.

The n2o limit for stock motors would be a 150 shot. After that things really get interesting.

As for a cam, if you look at the gains your going to get from the juice its going to be more tq than hp. So finding a cam that will make more hp than tq is going to be you best bet. Many people go with a blower came as they are pretty similar. Another one would be the cc306 on 112.
