Default Best cam for NOS?(HELP)

I was wondering what cam you guys recommend that performs well on nos. Looking to spray 200-250 shot? I would also want a well rounded cam to perform well on n/a as well..........

you honestly need to decide what you want....do you want an NA cam or a nitrous cam? trying to straddle the fence gives you a car that doesn't perform to its peak anywhere...

You would probably have more luck getting responses if you changed the title from NOS to nitrous.

seems like cams like a 234/240 on xer lobes on around 114 work great on pretty big shots.maybe some big shooters will step in with their setups.

really for that shot size just pick what works best for n/a use. you could go with a little more exhaust duration though, as this will help some. here's mine, with street driving as #1 goal with a 300 shot in mind, and spec'ed by a chevy engineer. 228/232 578/587 112 You see it's split pattern nitrous friendly cam (more lift/duration on exhaust side), but still hauls the mail n/a, and drives in stop go traffic.

mine drives good on the street, specs are 240/252 .650/.661 114+3. its a good N/A cam but its meant for the bottle, now my motor is a 402 with L92s, so a 346 grind is going to be quite different, but similar characteristics
