Re: Question about cams Do a search and you'll find about a million responses to the topic you are asking about. I think most people are getting worn down on the subject.
The bottom line is, its hard to screw up as long as you go with 220-230 range duration, 550-570'ish lift and a 112 (lumpier) or 114(smoother) cam.

Re: Question about cams Nitrous cams typically have wider LSA and a longer exhaust duration.
For daily driver reliability, emissions, mileage, idle quality, etc. keep your duration on the low side (around 218), especially if you have stock heads, exhaust, & gears. The stock heads stall out at around .525 lift, too.
Match your cam to your other mods/components, and you won't go wrong.
