Should I get a custom ground cam made?

I'm wanting to know if I should get a so called "nitrous" cam seeing how thats what my major power adder will be. And what is different about the grind of a nitrous cam? My heads are being fully ported and polished by Indy Cylinder Heads, I have no flow numbers yet, Will also be running 58mm TB, a LT1 Edelbrock air gap intake,(when they get them in), 3200 stall, 3.73 or 4.10 gears, Long tube headers, heads milled .20 and a thin head gasket, not sure what the compression will be yet. Was told about 11.3 to 1.. custom tune pcm, & I will be running 150-200 hp shot of nitrous. What cam should I use? And tell me if this combo has flaws please. How much are custom cams any way... Should I call Comp Cams tech line? Thanks guys..

^ If you're gonna get one, get one from him. Comp has a history of not knowing anything about the LTx engines, especially when it comes to cam design. You can check out their lobe catalog and design your own cam, if you want.
