Martin @ Tick can help you get where you need to be on this. You don't say what heads or intake. Those are going to be key pieces of info in getting you the right cam and converter.

What will you do more, race N/A or race with spray?
For instance, WhiteLTone has a pretty nitrous specific cam and converter combo.. It goes mid 10's on HP, and went 9.19 with a 225hp plate kit.
If you want more of a dedicated N/A cam, I can do that but you probably won't see any gains with anything over 200hp because of the valve timing.
