im running a 100 dry shot, I am wondering what cams you can or can not spray. I have heard that you cant spray some cams. I was considering the small Gen 3 hotcam. does anyone know if you can spray 100+ shot on that cam and be very safe??

thanks

 

If you're spraying 150 or less, just pick the cam you want for NA performance and go with it. It isn't until you start spraying larger shots (200+) that a nitrous specific grind becomes noticeably advantageous.

That's what I've read, anyway.

What he said, the cam selection wont really matter until you get into bigger shots. I ran a 228/234 588/598 114+2 cam a couple of years ago and I really liked it NA, and it LOVED the bottle

 

who's cam was that (manufacturer)?

 

what about the ASA cam. the spec's are 226/236 .525 .525 110 LSA
can you spray a 100 on that and still be okay.

 

Thats a pretty tight LSA even for a small shot though, the hotcam would work pretty good to 150 or so.

 

not sure. personally, id go with at least a 112 lsa for a 100 shot

 

i especially here that u shouldn't spray with reverse-split cams with low lsa's.

 

I just got the MTI G1, Im going to run a 150 shot..anyone else got this yet?

 

i dont think anyone has posted any nitrous results with that cam yet. im anxious to see how it does on the spray

 

I'm no expert at cam/nitrous. I have yet to run into to cam that doesn't like nitrous. Everyone said the TSP 231/237 598/595 112 +2 would not do good on nitrous.

I'm sorry but they were wrong!!! Mine loves it. I'm running a 200 shot right now. On a stock bottom end, mild Stag II PP heads and the TSP cam, weighting in at 3550lbs, my SS just ran a new best of 10.082 at 132mph. It was frairly consistent from 10.082 to 10.19 at 131-132. I'd say that's not to bad. The SS will under go a weight reduction and hope for 9's next year - still stock bottom end.

There you go You read right!

There really no cam you CANT spray. Its just with large amounts of spray you need a nitrous specific cam to yeild the best gains. Any cam/motor will respond well to nitrous

 

"JOSH" pretty much nailed it on the head...i would go with a 231/237 or similar split grind

 

Yeah nitrous likes a wide duration(within reason) and lsa like 112-114 some higher lift on the exhaust side

 

any cam with 112 LSA or higher is fine....otherwise its probably a N/A only cam in most instances
