If you think you can do mods like this without a MANDATORY retune you are not ready to do mods like this.

For a 150 shot do not even consider the nitrous when picking the cam, if it was a 250 shot then maybe but not for a 150. Just pick a cam you will like NA.

The HOT cam kit comes with inadequate springs so forget that supposed "benifit", and you owe it to yourself to open your eyes and see the vast array of choices available. The HOT cam was THE cam a DECADE ago today it is servicable I wouldn't give it a lot of credit beyond that though.

With a 6 speed consider 4.10s, .50 OD goes a long ways towards taming deep gears.
