Has anyone ever tried the Nitrous HP cams from Comp??? I'm planning on using this cam (NX284H-13) on my 383 stroker with a NX dual stage.. I'm staying hydraulic simply because I cannot afford the roller setup at this time.. The engine is a 10:1 383 forged pistons, rods, crank.... Any input would be appreciated!!!

 

I have the 274 grind Nitrous HP cam ready to be broken in this week if I can figure out some problems I'm seeing with Rocker Arm to valvespring retainer clearance problems... It should scream pretty good tho!

 

Never used that cam personally. I have been doing a lot of research on nitrous and it seems that a nitrous cammed motor will put out about 20 more horsepower than a motor with a camshaft optimized for n/a performance, however the nitrous motor will be down 40 horsepower n/a.

 

Plus dont N/A cams bleed off cyinder pressure better? So if you think you are pushing the limits of your block/rotating assembly it may be better to stick with the N/A cam.

 

Depending on the N/A camshaft yes. A tighter lobe separation will allow more nitrous to go out the exhaust and in turn lower cylinder pressure.

 

My car did that with some harlan sharpe rockers... threw those in the trash, bought some Comp Pro Mags... best thing I have ever done...
