It really depends on what you want out of it, the camshaft is generally refered to as the heart of an engine because it dictates how that engine will behave-Idle, power level, powerband, gas mileage-you get the picture. Many people choose a cam thats to big and so begin to hate driving their car around because of its poor manors. For instance I wouldn't put in a cc306 and drive in LA traffic, to much hassle dealing with its tantrums, but thats me, some would choose this route. Since you use nitrous, you can get away with a smaller cam and still have lots of power. You could go with a nitrous cam, but nitrous responds pretty well to a Naturally aspired cam, so many just use a NA cam instead, since they would rather have more power on the street where they don't use nitrous. A nice street driven cam with stock heads is the hotcam, with nitrous you will surely hit 11's with traction. I wouldn't go over a 230/236 cam for the street, the cc305 is a good choice, slightly bigger than hotcam, or even the 224/230 cam is great also. What are your ultimate goals with the car, how much power do you need? Are you going to port the heads

combination Motorsports has springs good up to 600 inch lift and you don't need to machine your heads, these are what I have and they work really well, at least so far they have
