Nitrous cams

Post by mgbv8 »

I'm just building a new 4.6 for use with nitrous.
RS have recommended their Blower cam, which is the one down from the stump puller. I'm doing some research with other V8 specialists anyway, but I thought I'd ask if any of you have any preferences for a cam to use with nitrous. The car spends a lot of its time on track, but more time going to events, so I need a cam that will behave itself for normal driving as well. I'm using pump down lifters which have been great with my old Typhoon cam and they do just what they are supposed to do according to the dyno figures.

Any advice before I buy??

Well, if your not on the gas permanantly then you don't need a nitrous cam. That said, I have seen custom grinds for nitrous chevy's. So, depending on what you intend to do with the engine you could contact Crower. Also, if your pistons aren't nice and strong then inject the nitrous late so they won't break. You can still make a shitload of tq by using more nitrous albeit late.
