the tr224 .563/.563 114 and on the 112 make great mid range power. peak is about 6300 i believe. you can keep your 918's to. not sure how good it is with the spray but i know a few guys who run this cam with the juice and they havent had any problems.
what kinda issues were you having with the F4 cam?

My vote is for the TR224 112 LSA, Its a great all around cam. If you wanted a little larger you could always go with the TR 230. I think you will be able to keep the 918s with the TR224 but not sure about the TR230. Good Luck man sounds like you have a nice setup.

Power and torque at 2500??Your sig say's st3500 stall?I would guess the converter is slipping at 2500 causing a sluggish feel.I would suggest the TSP 231/237 for your setup with Nitrous.
