This is what I was told by the person, but he really didn't know for sure. I went to Summit's and Comp's website but couldn't narrow it down. If someone knows the advertised duration @.500 lift and lobe seperation, i would be most appreciative.
Below is all I was told:

Comp Cams Nitrous HP cam, .480" lift, 280 duration

The 280 is advertised at .006" lift."

I could be wrong, but I believe this is what you've got. It's their "Magnum" street cam. Not a particularly good nitrous cam unless it has the 292 or 304 exhaust lobe, in which case it might work OK.

Hey I finally found it
http://www.compcams.com/catalog/064_065.html
Second one down in the blue. Not particulary as much lift as I'd like. Probably be nice and streetable though in the 383, and I don't feel like taking it out and swapping. What about lobe seperation, is higher more steetable.

Higher lobe sep makes your engine more docile at low rpms. Keeps your vacuum strength up, reduces the lopiness somewhat. That same higher lobe sep is also what makes a cam better for Nitrous applications, because with the juice you don't require as much valve overlap induced scavenging to get oxygen into the cylinders.
