U will loose power on motor without changing cam when u swap intake. U will also loose more power with a nitrous specific cam on motor also. Just remember without nitrous especially big shots of nitrous u don't have the artifical compression which creates more pressure and more heat. With that being said and running a nitrous specific cam on motor ur letting the exhaust valve hang open longer for no reason..
N/A nitrous cam made 303 whp on our dyno and the N/A cam made 306. On the same size jets the nitrous cam made 50 whp more on 200 jets and up and once you sprayed over 250 the n/a cam made no more power than the smaller jet.
Mostly race yes, lol.. but my motor is going into an rx7 so I think ill have clearance issues with the other manifolds.. I'm running afr heads with 235/242 cams

That's a torque cam... Brian Tooley? The car should really launch. Still, like we've seen above, you'll sacrifice nitrous power w/ a cam like that one if you plan on more than a 150 shot. You'll probably be fine @ 200. Full disclosure, I haven't built any engine in a long time. That said, you may consider something w/ more duration(many think I'm crazy for that approach). 242/252 was probably my favorite, but it definitely idles lumpy around 11-1200 and may lack vacuum. Several here will probably have a better idea on this and much more recent experience.
I thought he was saying the same thing.
Surely you can make it work regardless, but I think I'd be more concerned w/ traction in that car!
