Default Question about cam specs.

Ok.... I'm fairly new when it comes to cam specs and figured this would be the place to ask my question.

I just bought a bunch of parts: Shortblock, intake, etc etc, and i have also aquired a cam.

This is a Comp cam with the following specs...

236 intake duration @.050 lift
242 exhaust duration @ .050 lift
.601 intake lift w/1.7 rocker
.610 exhaust lift w/1.7 rocker
with a 110 lobe seperation angle

Now my question being can you quys tell me what this cam is good for?

I'm building a small bore 383 LS1 stroker, all forged, 90mm LSX intake, and plan on using this setup for mostly (90%) drag racing.

Is this cam good for nitrous? good for N/A? Basically can anyone tell me wht i have here, and what it's best use is, can i use this cam for my setup or should I go another route?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a good 383 cam to me. Will work well with N2O with the bigger exhaust duration & lift.

i don't like the 110 LSA for nitrous....if it were mine....it would be on either a 114 maybe even a 115 LSA (mainly because I LOVE nitrous)

You could spray that cam just because of the split and it would be ok. I have a 115 LSA and it loves the canned air!

Thanks for the replies so far guys..... keep 'em coming.

and yeah, the 110 LSA was kinda making me wonder on how well this will work for spray.
