Default Nitrous and Cam?

Going to be running a 231/237 592/603 111.5 and mods in sig. I would like to put some spray on in the spring. How would spray react to a cam of my size? I dont want to be wasting my time. And the million dollar question is....wet or dry?

Your car shoudl take N2O fine, the cam isn't so radical that I see it causing any problems. Make sure that 4L60 can hold the power

Seriously, it should be fine. If I were you, I'd go ahead and install a 255 in tank pump, and a hotwire kit, the extra fuel will be necessary to safely spray after the cam install.

As far as dry vs. wet, thats a WHOLE different debate here. Do a search, and you're still gonna come back scratching your head

Either one will work, but if you don't care to upgrade your fuel injectors, I'd go with a wet kit. With you mods + cam, you could start maxing out the stock injectors on a relatively small shot.....

You'll be just fine. Try to find some post from Larry from Speed Inc. His dad's car went 10.7xs with their SI5 and a 150 shot. The cam is very similar to your's (231/237 589/595 on 112LSA)

how about a 218/222 562/566? Would that work well with the spray?

Both cams would work just fine on the spray. We are currently testing a stock shop car with different cams all around 23X/23X .59X-.60X and various sized shots. While we are currently building a full on drag car, we understand that most people are on a budget and are working with H/C, cam, full exhaust type setups. So our objective has been to find cams that put down a lot of power and work well in conjuction with our nitrous kits. We will let you guys know what kind of power it throws down. Give us a call if you have any question, we would be more then happy to help you out.

Like suggested above you will be fine. I alwasy suggest putting a good NA cam in the car and then just add the spray. As for wet VS Dry I suggest doing your own research. Everyone has there own opinion. I feel both are great and different applications combined with different peoples abilities may require one over the other.

I have a 238/244 .605/.612 114 in my car and I am going to spray, havent got around to tuning on the n2o yet with cam. And you can go either way on the wet or dry.

Thanks for the info guys. Im looking forward to adding some extra go this spring. I dont want to push it, what is a safe wet shot? By safe I mean, chances are "slim" that you will melt a stock piston.

If the tune is correct a 150 shot is safe. There are lots of people even doing 200+ shots on stock motors. If you want to be very safe run like a 100-125 shot, you might need a fuel pump though.

with my bolt ons i made 346rwhp with 112mph trap speeds, i hope that my cam swap will get me 400rwhp and 117mph trap speeds and then some n20 a 100-150 dry shot for 500-550rwhp and some 125-130 traps, now the 130 mph trap speeds might seam high but 10hp is 1 mph so it kinda adds up that way.

but as long as you have a good tune and dont go stupid with it, you should have fun....

i like the new dry kit from NX
