Nitrous and Cam question Hay is anybody using the ThunderRacing Nitrous cam? What gains do U see from just motor and what gains do u see from the bottle? What other mods do U have along with it and what kind of 1/4's are U guys seeing?

Re: Nitrous and Cam question With a good nitrous cam, you will see worse performace running NA. Once you turn on the bottle, hold on <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I have see a fbody lose about 25 rwhp campaired to a similar setup without a nitrous cam. But with a 100hp shot, the nitrous cam car made about 145 more rwhp.

Re: Nitrous and Cam question Then what would be a good Cam to get the best of both worlds, like a happy medium?

A good nitrous cam will have a good deal more exhaust duration and lift to deal with the expansion issues. A 218/224//520/560//114 would give good nitrous results and still not be too bad NA.
