For you guys using the bottle....

I would like to know what cam and what cam profile you all are using with Nitrous and how you like it. I am building a 383 miniram engine, afr 190 heads, and I can not decide on a cam. Every time I think I found what I want, I find one that might be better.
I have been looking at the zz409 cam from TPiS and a couple from comp.
I know I could get a custom grind, but I would like to here from you guys first...

The ZZ409 cam is a good choice for a motor such as that. The ZZ409-X (I think that is the cam #) is even better - 226/240 instead of 226/226, which will evacuate the combustion chambers better (and idle about the same) on the bottle.

Two things to definitely consider getting: AFR Rev Kit and a stud girdle - both will keep valve float & rocker arm deflection to a minimum with a high revving nitrous 383.

I think the cam you are referring to is the zz-9x. I talked to TPiS about that cam and they said it would make great power but it would be a little soft down low.
