If i was you i would have a custom cam built and there not that much more expensive then any other cams. I tried the ms3 and that cam liked a 200 shot, i went with a 239/242 .595 .595 111 lsa cam and did a 250 shot fine with that cam as well but im getting a custom cam built for my 370 to handle up to a 400 shot dual stage. I was qouted $240 for a custom grind nitrous cam and thats not to bad.

Most cams on a traditional split grind will handle retarded nitrous. Both of my cars have nitrous grinds....only one sprays... and sprays hard. 400-500 pills.

a reverse split isn't really made for big nos shots. you want a balance of intake and exhaust flow. with a reverse split, you're compensating for an inferior intake tract, like, restricted stock heads with big long tubes and straight dumped exhaust. with a big shot, you're injecting the air into the cylinder, so you need to compensate for the increased exhaust volume and need to run more duration. I wouldn't run less than an 8 degree split for a nitrous cam as a general rule of thumb. the cam I listed would be a custom grind, any vendor can order it. and don't be afraid to go big. a 224 is a baby cam and you're looking to make big power, not a great daily driver.

Yes they are. Good eye Mark.

I have since moved them over the gas tank into the back glass and then put the back seat in again.
