Re: hot cam and nitrous?

From what ive heard anything over a 175 shot or so on stock unported heads is pointless or the gains are minimal if at all. Yes the hotcam does work good on n2o but im not sure about a 250-300 shot. Are you sure your bottom end can handle that much n2o?

I would look into getting a head/cam kit to get the most of the n2o then.
