If you're going to run a small shot build the ****** to run well N/A unless you plan on spraying it all the time. Never-the-less, I'd probably envision the cam being a small split towards the exhaust depending on the setup.

What happens to the exhaust ramp rate on a nitrous dedicated setup?

Take for example a setup that requires a camshaft like the following for n.a.
222/224 .59/.57 - quicker intake

Now, the user does full time nitrous. - 250 shot. Does the ramp rate on the exhaust increase? Or does it simply get "fattened" up.

I'm not wondering about the specifics of ramp speeds but, I always hear for nitrous the exhaust must be increased. In what way?

Just wondering....

I don't think that anything more than a 4 to 6 degree split is needed. ie 232/236

Sometimes if you increase the ramp speed you help out the situation, sometimes you still need the time/duration for the exhaust and the ramp speed causes a loss of valve control...

I would say generally that a fast ramp and shorter exhuast duration than normal are going to be be beneficial to the TQ curve. Usually you can run a faster exhaust ramp because of the lighter mass of the exhuast valve and the same spring you have on the intake you have on the exhaust.
