Your car runs nearly the same 1/8 numbers that mine does N/A. See your nitrous times is really tempting me.

Id say your car would get pretty nasty with a 150 shot.

unless you are spraying over a 200 shot just about any cam off the shelf will work. Once you start spraying more than that is when I would look inot getting a custom made cam for N20.

I would pick a cam based on where you would like to be at N/A, as it will pick up power on the spray. The MS3 is a good choice.

I ran a 228/230 .576/.595 114 with a 150 shot then when I forged the motor as stroked it to a 383 with a 250 shot I ran a 239/248 .640/.629 114+4. Loved both setups.

Our Polluter cam does love nitrous and works great and makes INSANE torque!

I also can and would like to spec you a custom grind for nitrous as you cannot beat a custom grind and for the same price or slightly more(marginal) you can have a cam that you KNOW was ground for your set-up and what you plan to use it for.
