You can use nitrous with any cam. Cams made specifically for nitrous use generally have a reverse pattern, more exhaust duration than intake duration.

Nothing wrong with using nitrous with that cam. A 114 LSA might show a slightly better increase in power when on the bottle than a 112 and would shift the power range slightly upwards both on and off the bottle.

So the 114 will be better with NOS. The reason i want the 112 is that it makes more HP than the 114 without NOS. I'm not going to use the NOS alot. The NOS will be like a Insurance in my car in case i face a car i need to spray against <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
