They are different. The cam made for Nitrous should work better with Nitrous but a little weaker with out Nitrous. The cam for NA no Nitrous will still work good with Nitrous but should run a little on just motor alone.

Do you want the cam that works the best without Nitrous? Or do you a cam that works best with Nitrous?

When a customer asks if their cam needs to be biased towards nitrous use I ask a few questions to get an idea of how often they will be using nitrous, and how much nitrous will be used each time.
If a customer isn't spraying his engine every time he uses it at WOT then IMO there is no need for a "nitrous" camshaft. Especially if that amount of nitrous isn't over 200-250hp.
Based on the cams you've mentioned, I feel you would like our SNS Stage 3 camshaft. Its specs are 235/243 .621/.624 111+2.
I am a big fan of TEA TFS heads, and the 215cc castings are proven to make power. Those heads and the SNS 3 would make a strong running combination.

We can't, or at least shouldn't, give anyone a hard time for reviving old threads. Badmaroonz28 probably used the search function and was shown that/this discussion based on relevance to his/her search.
To badmaroonz28,
Ask tick, or Martin, or pat g directly via phone or email or private message on here. Asking the general population will get you a bunch of answers from a bunch of desktop "professionals"... Or you can actually ask the actual pro's directly. It's your choice.
