Default Reverse split cam and nitrous?

SO i got a hook up on a cam and heads setup from a buddy, practicaly free.

The cam is 236 230 and 603 578 heads are un ported.

My question is how bad is it to run a 150 shot on a reverse split, could i get by or should i run less. or should i not spray it?

I tried searching but came up short.

I think I have an answer, but I'd like to hear it from someone else. When the N20 shot starts to reach around 200 and up cam choice will play a more important role. (more exhaust duration) When spraying below the mentioned level, it's good to run the cam you want for N/A power. That's just what I have collected. Btw, I have a 230/227 that I am adding a 100 shot to this month.

Well thats kinda what i understood also. I just want to make sure i wont cause any internal damage. I have an open exhaust and only plan on spraying periodically.

i will see what else everyone thinks before i pull the trigger.

I know several people that used to spray 150 quite often on very similar reverse split. As long as the tune is good, and you dont get too crazy with the spray, you will be OK.

a 150 shot is fine on most any cam......when you go 175-200 and larger then a n20 cam m ay be more benificial....

on that size nitrous shot, it wont make a difference. i wouldnt put a difference cam in just b/c you are spraying. nitrous cams dont really make a difference untill you start spraying well over 250.

Thanks for all the responses, sounds like this hunk of steel is going in the car.
And i do plan on having a shop tune it.

Hope to have numbers within a month.
