Question N20 Cam Setup?

I'm looking to do a 125ish wet shot on a new cam. Im looking for over 400rwph n/a. with in these guidlines no more than 230/230 or lower than 112 lsa and stops pulling no higher than 6500ish. on the bottle with a 125ish wet shot hope fully an easy 520 rwph. Im looking into the fast 90mm intake with TB.

Thanx for your help

Take a look at the "NEW" G1 cam from MTI.

G1 228/232 .588/.575 113 lsa
or
X1 230/227 .591/.571 112 lsa

Guys, please. There is no such thing as a N20 grind when you shoot a meisely 100 or 125 shot.
Nitrous grinds are for 150 wet shots or above. that is when the extra duration and low overlap come into play.
untill then you should concentrate on a N/A cam and just shoot it.
Actually a close reverse split with stock heads will work better. Trust me I'm a juice addict.

There is really no difference between a 125 and a 150. Anyone spraying will benefit from a nitrous grind, and it wont hurt you N/A to get one. A lot of people run a 4 to 6 degree split in duration anyway. If I were spraying and were chaning my cam, I'd get a 6 degree split and a 114LSA or higher (numerically).

The moment you say NOS Cam you should make sure that the exshaust numbers are bigger than the intake numbers, also you may want little to no timing ground in. If it does have timing ground in you can use HPTuner to pull out timing.

It doesnt matter what I spray... But THAT CAM IS A NITROUS GRIND CAM!!! So yes it does give him an idea of a n2o grind cam. I bought the cam used, and I didnt buy it as a n2o grind cam. I bought the cam bc its a good sized cam and will make power n/a or on the juice and I got a hell of a deal on it.

You said it yourself "If I were spraying", obviously you do not otherwise you wouldn't make such a ludicrous comment that 125 and 150 are the same

NOS= Nitrous Oxide System or the Brand name of a nitrous system company.
The gas is called Dinitrogen Oxide (N20)

You guys have been reading a lot of junk, and are watching way too many movies.

You can spray any cam untill a certain amount which is ~150 wet where the extra exhaust come into play.

I've sprayed 110 lsa reverse split with excellent results.

A Nitrous grind cam will work with any amount of nitrous, but I wouldnt worry about getting a cam for nitrous until you are spraying 200+, get a cam that is going to work well with your motor (since you will be driving around on motor 99% of the time), and with 150 worth of bottle any cam will work well. If you want a cam that works well on motor or the bottle my old cam worked really well 228/234 588/598 114+4 (on Xer Lobes)

My Motor is being built to just run with the bottle, since it will never make a pass without the bottle. My Cam looks something like this 275/290 732/736 114, of course it is a solid roller

You cant pull out valve timing with HPtuners, the timing isnt set by the computer it is set by how the cam was ground, and how it was installed. If you want to change the cam timing you will need an adjustable timing chain, and then you can advance or retard the cam to your liking.

And yes this is a reverse that is going to kick butt

The G5X-2(112), or the G5X-3(114) are EXCELLENT nitrous cams.

Trust me.
