Default LT1 cam for nitrous

A friend called me up for some advice on modding his LT1, and I don't know near as much about an LT1 as my LS1. The car is a 97 SS, m6, 100-125shot of dry nitrous, stock everything. He is wanting to put a cam in the car. I was going to suggest the GM hot cam with stock rockers, but had some questions.
Will stock injectors keep up with nitrous and a cam? How is the Hot cam with nitrous? Any other suggestions on a cam for a daily driver? The car does not have headers. With 100k miles on the car, what else would you replace with a cam (springs?, lifters?,...) Thanks for the advice.

I would first either change the stock injectors to 30# SVO or change to a wet nitrous system.
Like any nitrous injected motor, a good exhaust (headers) will really wake her up. A hotcam is not bad for nitrous, a better cam is the comp 305.
