That cam will work fine with nitrous. How much are you planning on spraying? Wet or dry? You will probably need to upgrade the fuel system if you haven't already.

yes, i already have a walbrow 255, and fast 90/90NW with the fast fuel rails. 5.3L stage 2 TEA heads. i was planning no more than 100 wet shot?? does this sound reasonable. i was told that it was a N/A cam because the intake lift is .603 and the exhaust is .601? how true is this? the whole cam thing i am still working on.. for sure not an expert on them yet and what they are made to do, so any further information on this would be greatly appreciated. thanks

you would be fine with a 100 shot
you could run a 150 shot

When I ordered the exact same size cam from TSP, I told them that I planned on sraying the car and I needed a N2O friendly cam. They told me that it would be fine.
