yes I know but I want something thats not dedicated to nitrous alone as it wont see the juice on the street... I have no problem paying the extra cash. just want something thats well behaved on the street.

Perfect reason to get a custom cam...
Tell the builder exactly how its going to be used... Get a cam that performs great on the street, and still does good with Nitrous..

Honestly, its the best way to go..

I highly suggest Futral Motorsports

Feel free to tell Allan I recommended you go to him.

from what i understand, if your planning on sticking with under a 300shot just go with a cam that makes good power on all motor..

hell, just look at CARTER01 nitrous camaro..

Little more about the setup? What Head's? Intake? etc.. Also is it Automatic and what Converter? Standard? How much does the car weigh?

And as far as it still running good on the street, as long as u have a good tune-up in it, the car should still perform great.. Depending on the setup..

My 408 with 25X/26X duration cam and LXR single plain Intake perform's beautifully on the street and I haven't even put the bottle on the car yet.. So far the car will go some 10.40's 127ish on motor @ 3,810lbs and i haven't even leaned on the car hard yet in the tuneup.. i plan on getting it to go 8.80ish on the bottle at around 3,500lbs and still drive the car everywhere with A/C and all..
