If you're strictly going for nitrous performance, you'll want to open your exhaust valve earlier than you would NA. Nitrous burns a lot faster and by opening the exhaust valve earlier, you will lower your pumping losses and gain power. You won't need tons of overlap nor a lot of intake duration since nitrous is boost in a bottle. If you don't want the car to be a turd at lower rpm, then you'll want the overlap close to some popular cams out on the market. I'll take my favorite, the FMS F-13. 230/232 112LSA 110ICL.
This cam has overlap of 7 degrees at .050". This is the max overlap I'd recommend to keep the 346 from being a "turd" down at lower rpm.
Intake closing point of 45 degrees ABDC (which will peak at 6300 NA and pull to 7000).
Exhaust opening point of 50 degrees BBDC (very good for NA, but nitrous needs an even earlier opening)

Using the F-13 as a guide, I'd recommend the following.
230/240 114LSA 110ICL
Overlap at .050" is still 7 degrees (just like the F-13)
Intake closing point is 45 degrees ADBC (just like the F-13)
Exhaust valve opening is 58 degrees (8 degrees earlier than F-13. Not as good for NA, but better for a 200 shot or greater).
240 degrees of exhaust duration would give the greater volume of exhaust gas additional time to evacuate the cylinder.

On a side note, you could achieve similar critical valve events with a smaller cam.
224/236 116LSA 113ICL
Overlap is -2 degrees at .050" (very smooth)
Intake closing point is still 45 degrees ABDC.
Exhaust opening point is 57 degrees (outstanding for a 200 shot or more)
236 degrees of exhaust duration is still pretty good for a nitrous shot.

Remember, choose the valve events you need first and let the specs fall where they do.

Was 3400, now I havent weighed it recently, but have added FG Hood, race wheels, chopped off some of the exhaust piping , K Member and A arms will be going in shortly. I am guessing 3350. I'll reweigh it though once the engine, K and Arms go in.

Devon, I weigh a svelt 160lbs, I drop to 150 for raceday, like a wrestling! I do need to reweigh my car though.

Does it matter if it is a Dry/Wet shot or if it is Direct Port?

FM-F6-114 FMS Custom Grind Camshaft - 226"/230" .575"/.595" 114LSA - semi-aggressive profile with a 2000-6800 RPM range, fair idle

IMO, you don't need a nitrous specific cam unless you plan on spraying above a 200 shot. Anything below a 200 shot, you'll want to choose a cam that best fits your NA goals. I've made huge gains on nitrous with the stock cam, LOL.
