Default Cam for Nitrous LS3/418

I don't visit this section much, because I have always ran NA.
But maybe wanting to spray a little shot (150) in the future.
I'm building a LS3/418. TEA TFS 235, Vic Jr, Fast 4150 TB. 11.8:1 comp.
Th-400, 5,000 stall, 4:11 gears.
What cam do I need. Duration, lift, and LSA.
It's a Lunati Forged Bottom End.
Looking for low 10's on motor, mid 9's on spray.
Thanks in advance.

For a small shot like that, you don't need to worry about a nitrous grind.

^^^^ What he said. Unless you plan on going 250 or bigger is when you need to start looking for more of a nitrous grind.

Best thing to do is have a custom cam built around your setup and your goal. I went with cam motion on my set up.

I have a custom cam now. But was wanting a second opinion.
Tell me what you guys think of this cam.
251/258 .623/.623 113+2 LSL lobes
Shortblock is built with this cam.
I'll be running TEA TFS 235's, Vic Jr. and Fast 4150TB.

No one can really dial in a cam you need off of that information. Need to get the correct information over to a custom cam grinder. I would talk with your engine builder and see who he prefers.

Head Flow Numbers, Max RPM, How much you plan to spray, Have you purchased the rest of the valve train?

Also he might want to make some changes in the stall or gearing. Just depends on the RPM band. How much is this thing going to be driven?

To get a really razor sharp combo it takes everything being in line and working well together.

Also I was not trying to be rude if it seemed that way. I just would not want that motor to not perform well. You got a lot of nice parts there. Get the last few things and you will fly.

No problem. I thought, I had listed everything.
I'm just alittle worried about the cam that was spec for me. Being on a
113+2 LSA, with a Vic Jr. I thought the Vic Jr liked tighter LSA and nitrous liked wider LSA.
The car is track only, not driven on the street. Gutted, Spool, 4:11, TH-400, 5,000 Stall, ect.
