LT1 Nitrous Specific Cam Grind

Curious about what cam/grind to get for a 300HP Direct port wet shot going on a forged, 360ci lt1 with full length headers, ported stock heads (exhaust ports worked also), and ported intake manifold...

I'm lost here all I could find is info on cams for small shots or N/A motors.

CCA-224-236-14 224 236 .503 .521 114??

Any help is appreciated

Sure just not with a 300 shot. For something that big, I would suggest getting a custom cam and not one off of the shelf.

I think that for nitrous you want at least 4 degrees of split between the intake and exhaust. Like someone else mentioned, a custom grind would be your best bet, but a good off the self cam would be a CC503, 224/230 on a 112.

EDIT: The cam you specified seems like a good choice, it has a large split and it has a high exhaust lift.
