That cam will work fine on a 100 shot. Generally speaking the only thing you want to avoid is spraying big shots on reverse split cams. For example a 230/224 would be a reverse split. Traditional split cams work even better on the spray. An example of that would be 230/236. But the bigger the cam the bigger the torque converter needs to be so keep that in mind.

What size stall are you running now?

Gotcha. Ok then the 226/226 114 will be good. For optimal performance you should still consider a 3000-3500 stall & transmission cooler for the car sometime down the road. You also need to replace the spark plugs with NGT TR55's if you still have stock ones in there. N20 + GM's spark plugs do not play well together.

I don't see why you can't get away with stock injectors and the stock fuel pump for that small a shot. But it might not be a bad idea to read a little in the N20 section.

Good luck.

If you are willing to consider something a little more tame, then I can highly recommend the hotcam. Great for retaining driveability, lopes nicely on the 112 LSA, and looves nitrous, loves it!!
Here ya go: Idle video

And a run on street tires, hotcam + 100 shot: clicky here not the fastest 1/4 mile, but look at the trap speed... Hotcam + N2O, a match made in heaven
Whatever you do, get it dyno tuned. It is so sad and frustrating to see people's cars not run to their full potential after all that work, just so they could save a few bucks!
Furthermore you might wanna consider a fuelpump upgrade. Many say that it isn't necessary, but yikes... that can really f* **** up. It's not too expensive and easy to do.
Most people who spray around here run spark plugs that are 1 heat range colder than stock. The TR6 is the most popular one. I run TR55's though, just pulled a degree or two of timing!

Any cam with a large enough split will be a great nitrous cam.

Well yes. I am just posting up a well known cam profile that people can relate to. Also, I am advertising it's great all round capabilities!
