Not a big one here, but running the TR224/ 114lsa and think it bleeds off way too much cylinder pressure. But its a compromise cam, splits emissions vs performance, and tunability!

The LG G5X2 would make a good nitrous cam.

I am running a 236/242 on a 112
If I was going for strictly nitrous I would have gone with a 114lsa

Currently i'm using a 224/224 .581 @112 Cam. But i bought a 228/234 .589/.598 @114LSA. Should be a heck of a good Nitrous cam just havent ordered the springs to go with it yet.

The TR 230 is not a great nitrous cam. But it will work just fine. There is a local guy here making almost 600 rwhp with that cam. Hes spraying around 225 shot.

I have the X1 cam from MTI 112 lobe. MY bottom-end is completely stock. You can see I got 135rwhp from a 100 shot. Jayson at MTI tuned her safely for the spray so I lost alittle N/A. You can see in my Sig the numbers I pulled. Not bad for A4 and all! I have dyno sheet if you would like to see. PM me!

I have mentioned this before but I know not where, I feel that one of the best all around cams for the stk displacement is the comp 222/230 114 it is an all around winner for motor as well as power adders it is tame and will make all the torque of a smaller cam and the higher end HP of a larger cam. I have tested over 100K cams on engine simulations and It is the least compramise. just did this cam on an all motor car and put a blower on it 2mos later and picked up much more than we were expecting partly due to this cam. Im probably stirring the pot.

Nitrous usually works better with cams with a larger exhaust duration. E.I. TR224/227(my future cam) maybe a 228/232, like the comp 222/230. All camshafts will peform good with it but a larger exhaust duration helps b/c the nitrous is forcing the extra air and fuel in but you need something to help take it out.

There was a great writeup in GMHTP by David Vizard on LS1's and camshafts. This guys IS a cam expert.

NX would definitly be a good source for a nitrous grind. According to the article they have the resources and the article also had a comparison of a street cam to that of a specific nitrous cam.

With the nitrous grind a minimal amount of NA power was lost over the previous cam BUT when combined with spray it made something like 30hp over it.
