Default Best cam for my setup
Ok guys, I know this is a hard question with a lot of differing opinions, but looking for some opinions. My current setup is:

1999 Camaro M6
CNC'd 862 heads with upgraded valves/springs, hot cam, 150 wet shot, Pacesetter Longtubes w/ true duals, ls6 intake, lid, HP Tuners tune

Looking for a cam that will do well on Nitrous, but still make decent power on motor. Its not a daily driver, but it gets driven pretty regularly.

Any opinions greatly appreciated.

Well I'm running those same heads with a 100 shot as well, and I run a cam almost identical to the MS3. Works awesome!

How is the drive ability of the ms3? Love the sound and power output of the ms3 for sure!

Drivability is surprising very good, but I attribute most of that on having a good tune

A good tune with a set of 4.10 gears and it will drive ok long as you do not lug it.
