Cam recommendation

I'm looking for a good CA smoggable cam to go in my stock LT1 with gears and high stall TC. I'm interested in a nitrous/SC cam and came across one at IRS. Does anyone have experience with it or could recommend something better?

Cam link

specs: Dur@.050 224-236 | Lift .503-.521 | LSA 114 | RPM Range 2000-6200

My motor is yet untouched and I my consider some modified heads to go with the cam. Any info is appreciated.

That cam has an awful lot of duratrion to try and be smog legal. I would find one with less duration and more lift. Keep the Lobe centerline (not lobe seperation) at 110 or above and you should be fine with the sniffer.

I have heard that a hotcam works well with nitrous. I think......... but i do know 100 percent that a hotcam will pass emmissions. I was happy with the power increase with mine.
