No, not for shots up to 150 dry/or wet.
The more exhaust thing is just picked up from people that read things and just continue to pass it on.

BIG shot nitrous cams need more exhaust. The rest can shoot on any cam, even reverse splits.

P-Z.....this is very true. I will have to own up and admit that I didn't pass on all the info. My bad. Won't do it again.

You can spray any cam you want, but if you are trying to find a cam that is more friendly to nitrous, even as you step up the shots, past 150...I guess thats the way I was looking at the question. Exhaust duration is where its at for large shots of NOS.
