Default Nitrous or cam???

Been thinking of spraying a 125 shot or doing a cam only setup with a torquer v3 cam 231/234 111 LSA.. What are some pros and cons to each setup on a V1? What would you reccomend

Cam power is always there, nitrous needs refilled, turned on, WOT. Cam needs tuned, nitrous doesn't HAVE to be. Cam requires internal engine work, nitrous is a simple bolt on. Cam is safe power, nitrous can be dangerous. Big cams sounds tough, nitrous purge looks tough.

I would go cam, once tuned, the power is always there.

Having both id go with the cam but its twice the money and less than half the power. Nitrous is great but it sucks not having it everytime you go WOT.

I have headers corsa and k&n and a 100 shot if its daily and you don't spray much the nitrous is worth it IMO but after having a bottle I want a little more so I may do just heads and possibly a cam the want for more power will always be there. But I put down 500rwhp and it would be nice to have all the time plus spry on top of it. But I got my kit off of a member on here for 850$ included a nos kit w the 2 stage programmer 10lbs bottle and v custom switch panels (the beer ones and I have an extra) and a digital pressure gauge and bought a heater and purge cost me about a grand total but full price maybe 1300-1500 for a really good kit. Cam is about the same so what ever floats your boat if you have questions you can pm me about the spray
