239/254 .624"/.595" 114+3 would work better with better heads. But 402 + nitrous... and that cam would work well.

That's a big hit of laughing gas, I hope you're running 2" primary headers and true dual exhaust.

Either way, something with a heavy exhaust bias for NO2, like what JakeFusion mentioned.

good rule of thumb is to treat spray like a blower, you dont want the spray blowing out the exhaust side with a huge overlap NA cam. You will have alot of exhaust volume that you have to get out so you want a big exhaust side without overlapping alot.

Mavn, you going to possibly run those new MAMO Motorsports "Sportsman" heads?

I also like that cam that Jake posted above for your combo. Looks like it would work well with your setup.

Maybe I'm missing something but the build the OP is talking about is using an LS3 crank so this is not a stroker motor like others have specced out for him. I would recommend something a little smaller. Feel free to give me a call and we can go over your combo and goals and I would be more than happy to spec a cam for you. 512-863-0900
