Default What cam for big shot?

I am setting up a 347 for a large hit of n20 250-350 area. I was just wondering what kind of cam is best for larger shots like this. Should it be split duration? Equal lift? Does a 112 have any benefit over a 114. I was going to run a comp cam 224 but am starting to think this is to small. I want the cam to make good n/a power but shine some on the spray. What about cam timing advanced into the cam strait up 2 or 4 degrees? Any info would be aprreciated.

What works best for E.T. is going to depend on your entire combination set up for the big nitrous hit.

As for a cam, I'd go with a custom grind with a wide lobe sep and heavy on the exhaust duration like this:
INT -2, 44
EXH 56, 6

and of course as much lift as your cam grinder can reasonably give you for those duration numbers.

I'll be running 200-300 shot on a 244/248 w/600 lift on a 114.
