TRex cam with nitrous possible? Could you run a big *** cam like the TRex with a shot of nitrous? say a 75 shot? If not what is the biggest cam you can run to make good power(over 400+rwhp) with a 100-150 shot of nitrous?

supposedly there is no problem running nitrous with the TREX unless your running a large shot, 200+, and then there are rumors that you get diminishing returns after that. a 75 shot is nothin though dont worry about it. You can spray a 75 shot with pretty much any cam.

What about tuning? How would you tune the car to get the maximum power out of the cam NA and still work well with nitrous?
is the TRex streetable? LOL

I would say you are fine with the 150 shot. As far as streetable, that depends on what your definition of streetable is. With the proper tune I think you would be ok.

My car isnt a daily driver
I would suggest going with the MS4 cam for more of a every day car, but you can def daily drive a T rex, its all in what you like etc
I dont see any problems with it

It is highly recommended by thunder to run AT LEAST 4.10 gears. If your going with nitrous I would stick with the 4.10's. I have the trex cam, 90mm intake and throttle body, 85mm maf and lid, z06 heads, built t56, and a 9" with 4.57 spool. I love to drive my car on the street. It is a wicked ride. Very driveable in my opinion. I have an awesome tune through vette doctors. The car put down 480 through the 9" and has absolutely no cam surge even at 1500 rpm in 6th. I get in and turn the key and she fires every time. I have been throwing the idea around about going nitrous as well and have no fear of doing it. The only thing I would change would the gear ration in the rear. 4.57 gears on nitrous would probably be to much gear for nitrous down the track. I may go to a 4.30. By the way I'm running a 28" slick on the track

If possible I would like to stay with my 3.73s so if I get the cam I will see how it feels with my current gears and then change to 4.10s or 4.30s if necessary

Will I be ok on the stock rear end as long as I don't run sticky tires?
