That cam will work well with nitrous due to the fact that it has a few more degrees of exhaust duration than intake duration. Nitrous cars love cams like yours because nitrous speeds up the burn process inside the combustion chamber, so you can get away with running a longer exhaust duration. If you really wanted to make big power on nitrous, you could run that cam on a 114 LSA instead of a 112. It might cost you a small amount of power while you're not spraying, however.

how about a T-ReX on a 110 LSA? Any problems? I'm thinking of doing this a ways on down the road, and wanted the 110 for max N/A power for now. Would it hurt the engine to spray 150 wet on it, or would I just be leaving power on the table?
