A better nitrous oriented cam would be a 224/228 114 LSA. It'll still make great power on motor as well.

First question is "How much you want to shoot?"

You can shoot any cam but some up to a certain level then more exhaust dur/lift is needed. In general ~150 is accepted by the majority of cams (Even reverse splits)
A TR224 112lsa is a no split cam and will perform under nitrous, especially dry.

125 dry is like ~100+ wet

the 224/228 will be fine with stock heads.
You can order it from many of the folks on the right. ------------->

I believe the 231/237 likes the spray. It should be fine for a daily driver since you have 3.73's. I have 3.42's and I was driving it daily with no problems before I left for school. Of course, drivability is a matter of opinion. If you are concerned with drivability you would probably be better off going with a smaller cam, I'm sure it would perform just as well.

I have the Cartech 224/228 and it loves the spray! I picked up 12mph at the track and 120 RWHP on a 100 shot

I was always told that if you are not spraying more than a 150 don't worry about the cam. Build your motor the way it will run 95% of the time, on motor. That is just what I was told, so I am passing it on. It has worked fine for me.

I know HPE is about to start stocking their "R" cam. It has good street manners, and is designed by HPE especially for Nitrous. That CAM with SPRAY definately ROLLS!!!

BINGO! Don't worry about a "nitrous cam" if you aren't spraying huge doses of nitrous. Nitrous doesn't care what engine it goes into, it will still increase the power. Set your car to run well on motor if you are spraying less than 150.
