Default Which would be a better Nitrous Cam?

I currently have PRC stage 2.5 5.3L heads, Torquer v2 cam, and a FAST intake on a stock bottom end LS1.... I have been thinking about pulling my motor and installing some rod bolts, and I thought while it was out. I would get my valves recessed and switch to a MS3 cam, or should I just stay with my Torquer v2?

If it were me, I'd get a custom cam. If you want one of those off the shelf grinds though, I'd get it with a 113 or 114 LSA. I'd probably go with the Torquer v2.

I'd get a custom grind. Good nitrous cam's have a wider intake to exhaust duration. Ex. a 235/245. However, you will suffer top end power when running N/A.

What kind of car? What does it weigh? 6 speed or auto? If auto, what stall speed?

Those questions, among others will be needed to make an educated suggestion, IMO.
