which cam is better
 
i am running 100 shot wondering which cam would work better. patriot performance 232/230 dur 580/580 lift with 110 lsa. other one is 226/226 dur 585/585 lift with 112 lsa. i plan on running 150 to 200 shot . also what is the approx. the power range for these cams

I would look around some more at different cams out there. I would run at leat a 112 or higher if running on the street but thats just me. pretty much any cam is good with nitrous

This is what I would run:
230/234 duration, .592"/.598", 114lsa + 0 (XE-R Comp cam grind)

Neither...nitrous likes extra exhaust duration, "traditional split" and a higher LSA. Pick another cam if you are getting one specifically for nitrous use.

Not for just 150/200 shot
Up to 150 ANY cam will do. I sprayed reverse split with 200 dry, no issues.
Look more at the VE's of the cam not its .050 specs.

The 226/226 cam is very similar to mine. My 100 shot adds 90hp and 130tq. No issues.

Well of course you can spray with any cam, I know this. The poster seemed like he was looking for a more specific spec'd cam for nitrous, so I was just giving him the info on what nitrous likes for the best results.

Yeah, the bigger the shot the more you are going to want a cam spec'd out for nitrous vs say a 150 shot. I sprayed a 125 dry shot with my TSP 225/225 with great results.
