Looking for input on Cam & Nitrious setup current setup: 01 stock engine, 3" duals w/longtubes, 3800 stall, TH350, 3.55gr. Really its the cam I'm not sure about. I'm looking for something that will run good on motor and hit hard on the juice. Thanks for any info.

Anything moderate to large in size should "run good on motor and the juice". Don't know if you care at all about how it drives on the street. TSP MS3, G5X3 or X4, Futral FM14 or 15 maybe.......
Unless you plan on spraying over a 200 shot, choose the cam based on your N/A goals. If spraying over a 200 shot, then you'll want to open the exhaust valve earlier (since nitrous combustion happens a lot faster) and you'll want to base your exhaust duration on the size shot you have. If 230 duration was good for NA (say 450 rwhp), then you'll want exhaust duration that would be worthy of 650 rwhp when running a 200 shot. That's why the cam will often look like 230/242 114LSA.
