First impressions 236/245 115lsa stock heads bottom end

I just got the car back together and fired it up and was suprised how well it idled on stock tuning with it being 30 degrees outside. Espcieally considering that the car has been in storage for the past half year and hasn't been run at all. Car didn't even blow a puff of smoke on start up. Definetly lopes pretty hard, it sounded like it was going to die out a lot but never did and kept on running on its own. Now I just need to get the rest of the car back together so I can get it tuned and see how the thing drives.

Why 115lsa? Blower?

Actually it's for nitrous. I was looking at a 236-242 xe cam but was worried that on a 112 lsa it wouldn't build enough compression to be optimum for nitrous. Since I will be spraying a lot, around 150-200, I wanted a cam that could build up enough compression for that size shot. Not to mention it's always a plus that it will idle smoother.

Would it require higher octane gas for that setup?
