I have a Compucar kit with the 150 hp jets. The car is mostly a daily driver but I shot of the N2O 1-2 times on weekends. I will be installing LT4 ported and polished heads and intake, 1.6 RR, hydrolic lifters, 30 lb SVO injectors and new fuel pump. With those mods what cam do you think I should use? Someone recommended the XE230-236 to me.

That cam sounds about right, just make sure it is ground on a 112 LSA. 230/236@.050 is about as big as I would go on a daily driver.

Why would he want a 112 LSA? You will be blowing all of your nitrous out the exhaust. You will need it on a 114 LSA. I have a custom Lazer grind that really likes the bottle.

112 and 114 are generally both acceptable lsa's for nitrous and blower grinds. Hell I know a lot of people who run large amounts of nitrous on 110 LSA's and still see good results.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought a tighter lsa angle such as a 110 or 112 was better suited for higher compression nitrous engines in order to bleed off a little bit of the cylinder pressure and a 114 or higher lsa was better suited for a lower compression engine that relies on a bigger hit of nitrous in order to keep the cylinder pressure up.

So, would a Hot Cam and 100-150 shot (wet) be ok? This may not be the optimal combo (I already have the Hot Cam installed), but it's what I have to work with.
Thanks!

Good luck, Cliff
