What are your guys view on the best cam for my set up out of these 3?
1. CC305- 220 / 230, .510 / .510 114 LSA
2. Extreme- 224 / 230, .502 / .510 112 LSA
3. Extreme- 230 / 236, .510 / .520 112 LSA

Im liking the 3rd one but im not sure if thats too agrresive. The second one looks good though because the duration is strong and so is the lift. Ive also heard the CC305 and it sounds pretty good but would the 114LSA be worse then the 112?
What do you guys think, Your input is appreciated.

Since you are running nitrous I would recommend going with a Custom Grind Nitrous Cam. I would ask this same question in the Nitrous forum.

 

Well Im not going to be running nitrous that often so the majority of the time will be N/A. So with that in mind what would be the best for N/A but wont suck when its ran with nitrous either?

 

Cam selection is less critical for nitrous use as compared to a SC (or even more so a turbo) setup. A cam that works well NA will work pretty well with nitrous. Ideally, to get the most out of the nitrous, the exhaust duration should be increased along with an increase in the lobe separation. Widening the LSA helps avoid excessive overlap with the longer exhaust duration, and the longer exhaust duration will help the greater volume of exhaust gasses produced when using the nitrous to escape.

Obviously, the same considerations about drivability, power band, emissions, dynamic CR, etc. exist with respect to choosing a nitrous cam as with any other cam choice. So, to be more specific I would need more info about your combo, how you drive, what is important to you, etc. As far as the cams you list, in general #2 and #3 have too little exhaust duration compared to the intak and too narrow an LSA. But without knowing more I can't say which would work best or if something altogether different is needed.

What exactly do you want to know. I am port and polishing my heads and intake, then throwing 1.6rr,valves springs and retainers, running a 3 in. true dual exhaust with an x-pipe. Im pretty much going to baby the car except for when I race it which wont be that often either. The nitrous will be used at the strip unless I think I need it for a race. Then down the road Im going to buy a stall converter probably a 3200 stall. But then again I have to buy a stall based on my cam so I guess Ill have to decide that when I get the cam in. What else do you need to know?
