Engine Rebuild Help

Hey guys, Im rebuilding my stock LG4 (150K miles) and i want to take into consideration using nitrous in the future. What kind of parts would i need to support a 100HP shot of nitrous? What should i do about my cam? Replace it with a stock replacement cam or get an aftermarket cam? i want engine performance, but i dont wanna suffer from 10MPG syndrome. . What other parts would i have to buy when i replace the cam (lifters? rockers?) thanks,

If you're doing a rebuild why would you even consider keeping that peanut cam. They do make cams for use with nitrous, they're more expensive and I'm not sure of the advantages, maybe something to check out. I believe Jegs has them in their catalog.

If you plan on that much NOS I'd invest in some SFC as well.
