Nitrous and E85 don't really need anything special when it comes to camshaft.

Could give Straub a call. He will set you up with something right for your application, no guesswork involved.

You have any more info on Straub? I called and emailed Cam Motion a few times and no response.

Nearly any cam will work with that setup. Normally cams for larger nitrous hits use a slightly longer exhaust duration than normal split but you wont see much diff on a 150 or less really.
We have a very large selection from all the companies. let me know if we can help
