Take a look at the Thunder Racing CheaTR cam or a small reverse split cam

i dont know what cams are good for juice, but if you're looking reverse split like ArrestMe suggested, try mine - i love it... makes great power and it sounds bad as hell

The Traditional split cam is what you are most likely looking for.

The CheaTR, TRak, and TRex cams are all tradional split cams.

The Reverse is like a 230/224 which is better for N/A overall.
You want a traditional split for nitrous generally, but it wont matter unless you are spraying an excessive amount. The reason is for more exhaust gases being spent and needing the valve to be open a tad bit longer for it to expell all the gases faster.
