Based on the relative durations/lifts the magic stick is most likely going to give you more horespower.
You plan on getting a rear end and/or gears?

I just dont think it would be worth it to do the swap (weather you do it yourself or pay someone) for the amount of power youll gain, unless this is a max effort set up and you go with a cam thats a lot bigger.

I was thinking also that, I'm just going to spray nitrous better than just replacing the cam. How much nitrous would be safe i was thinking about 200 shot.

TSP MS will give you more power but it isn't worth swapping unless all that **** is apart for something else anyway.
200 shot would be fine if you have an upgraded fuel system.
