Still cannot decide on which cam for stroker/nitrous PLEASE HELP!

Alright need to settle this for the last time and asap.

Currently i have the 230/236/112 xe with .544/.555 lift on my 1.6 rockers.

I am debating keeping that or going to the 230/242/??? xe with .544/.576 on 1.6s

Im building a 383 that will see nitrous (200 shot) later on.

I am not sure how much n/a power i will be sacrificing with the nitrous cam, or how much nitrous power i would sacrifice on the n/a cam.

those are the only 2 cams i am debating as i dont want to swap springs since the heads are setup and ready to go.

Im not sure that with the nitrous cam i would really be giving up any power n/a, but would most likely gain more power on the juice right? and if i do get the n2o cam, what lsa, i want some killer lope still but dont want to blow all the juice out the exhaust

Because you want it to be a nitrous motor, you want a big seperation between the intake and exaust lift... So for your choices, the 230/242 would be better.


A little advise, put 1.52 rr's on the intake, and 1.6's on the exaust.

how much power am i going to be losing n/a with this cam? cause thats what it is gonna be most of the time, however i also need to know what kind of power increase ill see with this cam over the other one on juice.

and why do i want lower lift on the intake? for anyone who needs to know, springs are good to 600 lift

For the nitrous you want more lift on the exaust... The motor will be strong, fast, whatever... But then add nitrous to it, and it will be a whole new thing.
