Default 418

Who has one? What does your set up look like? What is a big cam that works well with nitrous?

We've done tons of the 418 short-blocks with great results. I personally like the 251/259 camshaft, but we've also put together a 248/256 camshaft on a 114 that would work really well with a little bottle behind it...

I had read a little about the 251/259; people seem to like it. I know you guys like the PRC L92 heads. Have you seen any 418s with the TFS 235's or 245"s; what did you think? How about the PRC LS7 heads? Any with the above mentioned cams?

LME complete 416 L92 setup, 530hp/518tq on 28 degrees timing with a 244/254/112 cam.I keep wanting to put the bottle on to chase some liter bikes down, but I'll need a major fuel upgrade or a standalone from what I have now.
