with that small of a shot, a nitrous cam isnt required for optimal hp. any off the shelf cam on a 112, 113, 114 lsa will work just fine. being a stock headed car, id probably go with a cam in the 230 duration at most. there is alot of options to choose from. how high do you want to rev?

Do not go any wider than 112.

I would look at something like the Crane 227 a good bit extra exhaust duration which would be a good thing and should meet your rpm limitation fairly well.
