I think you can pretty much run a 150 shot on almost any of the bigger cams. The MS3 supposedly likes spray. But I dont have any experience first hand. Maybe try posting in LS1 Internal, you'll probably get more responses in there.

lunati lobes suck.
Get a comp cam on the XE-R lobe those are realy nice lobes

I like my TSP 232/234 .595 .598 112+2 those are on XE-R lobes

and there is no point of getting such a high lift cam of .600+ if your heads are not setup to flow the best CFM at that lift.

also MTI X1 cam is a very popular reverse split cam.

You dont need a nitrous specific cam unless your spraying 200+ shots. Be sure to read the stickies at the top of the internal section and read some of j-rods thread in the advanced section.

Comp 244/248 .612 .615 on a 114 or 115 very healthy sounding. Like others have said though, unless its a 200+ shot it doesnt really matter.
