so i just ordered my 100 shot nitrous, but now i need to find a cam, but i dont really know anything about them. i know someone who is selling a stock ls6 cam wit about 50k miles. i dont know if i want that one, or look for a new one...any suggestions for cams?
i don't know about nitrous specific but i just installed a comp 269hr and absolutely love it. nice little lope at idle, and great mid range power. i have a procharger too and it works great with it.
the specs are 216-220 .525 .530 114
the cam he mentioned above will work fine with nitous as well as the LS6 cam.
Just a little FYI. We had a customer with a Formula (Trans Am) and we did an LS6 cam, lid, tune, and a 150 shot and he ran 7.0 in the 1/8. That car had stock manifolds, cats, 2:73's, stock stall. It is a little of a freak, but the LS6 cam will work great with 100 shot as well as N/A.
Same cam I have and i love it...good street manners and a little choppy.Quote:

I have a cam that was designed for nitrous use for sale. It's a 232/236 .614 .597 113.
I also have a TR 224 114LSA for sale.
Either way you go for N2O you'll want the LSA to be atleast 133 or wider. Thunder Racing has some real nice N2O cams spec'd out right off the shelf.
ok thanks guys im probably gonna go with the 269hr cam..
so does sprayin sqeeze come with any prolonged affects on the motor? and what is the diff between that and meth inj.?
with NOS you can add more fuel to the mixture since you're adding more oxygen. The whole trick to making more power is getting more fuel, oxygen and spark into the cylinders. Thats essentially what you're doing when you put in a bigger cam, helping it breathe better to move more fuel and oxygen through the combustion process.
The stress begins on the bearings in the rotating assembly due to the additional HP created. Staying under 600 total HP seems to be the key with stock GM parts with any power adder.
:lol:i see
The 269hr will be a sufficiant cam for nitrous due to the tighter lobe angle. Look at juiced sss's nitrous cam compared to some of the other cams that aren't made specially for nitrous. You will also have good all around power.
