Default new cam thats nitrous friendly?

Okay so I am growing tired of the cam I originally chose first time around. I am not really educated on what specs would be best with nitrous so I'm looking for some ideas from the cam gurus on here.

Here are my current specs on my '02 Z28

Texas Speed PRC Stage 1 LS6 heads w/ PRC dual springs .650 lift milled to 61cc
Patriot 7.4 hardened push rods
Patriot 225/229 .580/.590 114+4 LSA Cam
LS2 Timing Chain
SLP lid
Ported and bump stop modded stock throttle body
42# injectors
ARH 1 7/8" headers
ARH 3" ORY
TSP Rumbler Catback
KYB AGX shocks/struts
Strano Springs
UMI tubular adjustable lca's
UMI tubular adjustable torque arm
UMI tubular adjustable panhard bar
Moser 12 bolt 4.10's
SLP Line lock

Ms3, Ms4 loves em 175 & 200 shot !! But I was thinking of a cam that would react more to those 100 - 125 shots too, as not every1 want's to rebuild their bottom end !!

Yea... Well it helps when you have a decent setup and a stout running car to start out with. Call BS all you want. It is what is. Whats your 6.0 run like at the track by the way? And Im by no means saying the 233/239 is the only way to go. The OP was wanting a relatively daily driver friendly cam that worked well with nitrous and I thought id make a suggestion. There are many cams that would get him the results hes looking for.

For a 125 shot theres no point in a nitrous cam. They are only really needed when your spraying a 200+ shot. Just get a good NA cam.

Yes and I didn't mention all the little supporting mods on the car either, other than the fact the car has a TSP 233/239 cam and 853 heads. Nothing crazy bout the setup other than it was well thought out and has all supporting mods. Just a nice street car. It's all in the details. How bout we not junk up the OPs thread anymore. If you have any questions or concerns then Pm me.

its not worth arguing who put down what with what cam. Id just match the cam to a setup and go from there and now worry about numbers before its even built because someone had bad luck with a cam that should work well.

Honestly the cam you have is decent but the 233/239 on 113 would be a good option also. I would have one custom speced from a professional personally that is taylor made for your setup.
