Default 9-1 compression with nitrous need feedback on my setup

I have a 383 ls1 that i was planning on using a turbo in

but funds will probably prevent that.

My basic mods are

texas speed ls6 2.5 heads

It has 9-1 compression forged rotating assembly

The cam specs are 238/242 .605/.610 113+4 LSA

42lb injectors walbro in the tank headers etc.....

Should I swap cams ? or just use that one?

let me know what you guys think?

Since my compression is so low would I benefit from a NaNo setup better?

or would that not make any difference?

thanks!

Join the club, lol. I ran out of money also. I would just keep your cam and spray it. NANO will help no matter what to keep the nitrous consistent through the run. I personally don't want to spend the money on it since nitrous is going to hold me over until I can afford FI.

+1 on keeping the cam. I would imagine that the increased exhaust duration for use with N2O will work pretty well.
