Default reverse split nitrous cam

i know there have been a bunch of threads on the reverse splits and how they work with nitrous but ive got a couple questions that are more specific. i know there isnt much reason to fret about cam specs unless running a big shot but i was thinking a small reverse split something like 226/222 with equal lifts maybe on a 112 or 114lsa. then i got to thinking of the lobes and ramps. i was thinking xe-r lobe for the exhaust to get the valve open quicker to kinda compensate for the extra intake duration and maybe a less agressive lobe for the intake or equal lobes. i think ive just confused myself <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> . like has been said pick a cam that kicks *** on motor and then just spray it.

Sounds like you've answered your own question. Pick the cam that best suits your needs on motor, then spray it when the need arises. Unless you run a 200 shot or greater, don't fret cam specs. Nitrous will make anything go faster. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Like others have said, if you're gonna spray a 200-250 shot or less (like most people) just build the engine to run good NA.

For a really large shot go with more exhaust duration.
