I have that same cam on a 115 lsa though (for sale). To my understanding, wider LSAs benefit the bottle.

That's very similar to what I am running, and so far I've put 150 to mine and it LOVED it. Car runa 10.5 on motor, and a 100 shot got it to 9.77, 150 got it to 9.61 with a worse 60 foot then with the 100 shot.


I dunno how it will take a 250 because I haven't personally tried it, but I'm sure it will work.

A nitrous cam just opens the exhaust valve a little earlier. Basicaly the best cam for the motor na, but the exhaust valve opens sooner. Will lose a little power on motor though.

I would agree with that. Patrick G spec'd me two cams, one for an N/A application and one for a nitrous application. The only major difference being that the exhaust valve is opened 8* earlier and it is on a wider lsa. The nitrous cam has less exhaust lift, but significantly more exhaust duration.

My nitrous cam also has more lift on the exhaust along with more duration. Seems this would be benificial. Any tech backing up less lift, as I haven't really heard this before? Mine was spec'ed by a former Chevy engineer, Dr Phil or Road rebel at vetteforum.
