I picked up 31rwhp on a B1 cam, no tuning except MAF translator, on an M6, through shortie headers. You might want to raise the limiter though if you are going to run NA a lot, because although it peaks at 6100, it rides out pretty flat to 6500.

The split duration cams suggested (like the 212/218, or even a bit bigger) work well for nitrous because of the extended exhaust duration.

The comp cam 212/218-.522/.527-114 should easier on springs due to it's low lift, but you'll get a lot more power from the MTI or TR cams mentioned in the other posts. Cams are mostly about trade offs . . .
