Would you really rather have one of us here in the forums spec you a cam, vs one of the vendors on here who do this for a living lol?

Seeing as it's a single plane combo, I'd lean towards the 4500 rpm side of your stall converter range. The single plane will shift the torque curve to the right of the operating range versus a longer runner intake.

Running roller rockers and aftermarket lifters I would run more lift than I would using OEM lifters and rocker arms. Especially seeing you have aftermarket heads. A softer ramp is beneficial in my opinion with a roller tipped rocker. Roller tipped rockers tend to have more mass placed over the valve than an OEM rocker arm. Soft ramp and more lift aren't always used in the same sentence, but there are lobes able to do just that.

Depending how often you plan to use your nitrous will have an impact on how the valve events are arranged to give best performance.

If you'd like to know what I'd spec for your combination feel free to give me a call on Monday or some time next week. I'd be glad to help.

There is an EPS single plane can for sale in the classifieds. Probably just what he doctor ordered. If memory serves, it is 236/248 on 110.
