Nitrous HP cams? Any good?
I need a better cam w/ more dur. than my ZZ4 cam. I was thinking about the Nitrous HP cams that Comp Cams makes. Is anyone here running them or have thought about using one. I plan on spraying 100 shot from my NX kit.
My goal is to have a 11 sec. car I can drive to work everyday. Do you think this will help.
PS- I got better valve springs that can handle .600 lift and 7500rpm. I also installed a set of 1.6RR.

I don't plan on taking it to 7500, I just wanted a spring that could handle over .550 lift.
Have had any experience with those cam?

Not personally, but usually the nitrous cam is only different in the Intake/exhaust numbers have a wider spread
example:
224/230 505 510 Normal
224/234 505 520 NItrous...
This is because of the increased exhaust due to nitrous vs the same amount of air intake
For 100 shot you hardly need a "nitrous" specific cam. Just get a cam by numbers that suits your needs.

i would say that the cam you want really depends on how much you are going to spray.
if you just use the nitrous as a little extra sometimes then get a cam that will suit your cars N/A needs.
if you plan on using the nitrous quite frequently (every time you race) then a nitrous cam will actually make 20-40 more hp even on a small shot(over a regular cam). BUT! it will make less hp when you aren't spraying, odds are 15-30 less hp than the regular cam. its like tpiroc said you have more exhaust and need to get it out.
