1 being mti X1 230 227 .591 .571 112

or
2 being mti Z1 236 236 .585 .585 112

My mods are full exhasut, lid,k&n air filter , and built 4l60e with a viganlte 3200 stall.On motor my car put down 353 to the wheels. Then feature mods will be 100-150 shot of nitrous. And 90 fast intake and 90 nick willams throttle body. Which cam will work better with my setup?

I would be partial to the first one, The X1, especially if you're spraying. Seems like it would be a fun cam to work with, definitely going to make a little more horsepower up top with the Z1 though. It's all personal preference, I still can't pick a cam I love! Like My TREX, Disappointed with my Torquer 2, and Now hopefully will love the Next, whatever it may be!

Very Similar to A Torquer 2 from TSP, and there's plenty of info on them. My best Friend Runs one as a matter of fact, and loves it, jsut didn't suit me for some reason. Very well proven camshaft though

I wouldnt choose either, but given the choice i'd pick #2 It's gonna make more power NA reguardless of the split, and for only a 150 shot I wouldnt say that the reverse split is gonna do much.
