Streetable cam-400+ rwhp NA but good with N20? attainable? Here is my current setup:
longtubes, ORY, catback, 3.73s, NX 100 wet shot, suspension mods, and a few other small things...I want to get a cam next but I want something pretty aggressive. My goal is to make over 400 plus rwhp cam only but I want a cam that will also work well with nitrous. Any suggestions?
thanks

Search bro, but I'll help you out. Almost anyt 228 or 230 cam on 113LSA will get you there. Check with thunderracing, TSP, G2, and comp everone makes them and they are reasonable price. Also with more mods like better intake (LS6 or FAST) you can do it with a smaller cam. since you have a 6 speed you can go big and still keep it on the street just gear it right

Personal preference here, but HPE S Cam will do you good for this. Great power across the board, flat torque curve, good for 400 to the wheels, and will be totally streetable.

also, this might sound like a newb question but how would tuning work with nitrous? is there anyway to run a setup like a flip switch where you can switch your tune from NA to nitrous?
i want a car thats tuned well but i dont want my car to be weak off the bottle ...

230/236 .589/.598 from thunderracing netted me 399rwhp with a 12 moser, 4.10 gears, A4 that was slipping bad, and a yank ss4000e...
with a stick and stock rear it would have been atleast 410rwhp

When I was cam only, with a 220/220 112LSA, my A4 was making 360RWHP/370RWTQ with a Yank SS3600 T/C. With good intake and exhaust you'll have no problem getting to 400RWHP with your M6 and a relatively small cam, but, with nitrous, you'd wanna' go with a 114/115LSA IMHO. To do over again, I wouldn't do that small a cam, even though I loved it ... just had to graduate to a little bit larger 224/228 114LSA cam, which is pretty nitrous-friendly.
