Default Nitrous cam suggestions with current mods.

Hi guys I was wondering if a few of you guys could point me it towards a decent cam set up.

Current mods ( car is a 99 Camaro , A4 , 54k miles)

1 7/8 headers into 3" y pipe to full exhaust
LS6 manifold
Ported throttle body
799 ported heads ( I don't know any details on them)
FTI 3800 hard hit nitrous converter
4.10 gears

Car dyno in at 335hp and 356 tq.

My plan is to spray 100-150 shot of nitrous next year but currently going to be running N/A. The car is being built for the strip with some street driving. I cut the weight to around 3100lbs right now and still stripping more out to be around 3,000lbs .

Off the top of my head, doing minimal calculations i'd think 236/243 113+3 around 620 lift. If you plan on this being more streetable, subtract 3 to 4 degrees from each duration. If you want to spray more than 150, add 2 or three degrees to the exhaust only. I'd guess 420-430(ish) off the bottle, then appropriately more on the bottle. Plus the long exhaust duration will help get all the spent gasses out, keeping you more on the safe side. Alot of this depends on your head gasket selection for compression and quench. Get ready to do some work to the 3/4 clutch pack in that 4l60 too if you're going to do full 1/4 pulls.

I appreciate the response ! I'm looking to race at the local 1/8th and maybe occasionally 1/4 because I put on a set of 28" for the rear.

The one cam that came to mind was

Tick Performance "SNS" torqueMAX Stage 3 Camshaft for LS1 & LS6 Engines
Standard Lobes: 235/243 | .630"/.610" | LSA111+2
Milder Lobes: 234/242 | .61x"/.61x" | LSA111+2

111 is a little on the tight side for LSA with nitrous. It will work fine and i'm not saying it will blow anything up, but i think a wider lsa would optimize the setup better
