Default Cam LSA affects on Nitrous

I have read that a 112/114 is a good LSA for most cars that run nitrous.

I am trying to make my car run as hard as possible on motor, so I was thinking about going with an 110LSA. But, still would like to spray the car also.

How much horse power on spray will you typically give up on say a 150 shot with an 110LSA as opposed to a 112? Would the extra hp on motor negate any loss on spray?

I have read that ecentualy you are blowing a portion of unused nitrous out the exhaust because of the extra over lap. If this is true couldn’t you just bump the jets a little to compensate for the small amount that gets by during overlap?

During the overlap period you mention blowing nitrous/fuel in a non-reacted state out the exaust. Keep in mind that the intake valve is also open at this point. If the nitrous charge hasn't had enough time to vent via the exhaust and has a high enough pressure to push the incoming air/fuel back into the intake and has enought thermal energy to ignite this new charge then chances are high of getting something that sounds like kabooom! If your exhaust flows awesome and you've got a good amount of duration & flow potential then you will be safer. I remeber seeing posts about nitrous backfires a while back. try to search these and aquire important specs from the victims.

114 works well.
