I have a Compucar kit with the 150 hp jets. The car is mostly a daily driver but I shot of the N2O 1-2 times on weekends. I will be installing LT4 ported and polished heads and intake, 1.6 RR, hydrolic lifters, 30 lb SVO injectors and new fuel pump. With those mods what cam do you think I should use? Someone recommended the XE230-236 to me.

 

That cam sounds about right, just make sure it is ground on a 112 LSA. 230/236@.050 is about as big as I would go on a daily driver.

 

how about 224/230?? is that sounds too small?? i have to pass smog here in stupid cali

 

224/236 xe here emmisions legal with some tuning

 

cool....thanks

 

Why would he want a 112 LSA? You will be blowing all of your nitrous out the exhaust. You will need it on a 114 LSA. I have a custom Lazer grind that really likes the bottle.

 

112 and 114 are generally both acceptable lsa's for nitrous and blower grinds. Hell I know a lot of people who run large amounts of nitrous on 110 LSA's and still see good results.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought a tighter lsa angle such as a 110 or 112 was better suited for higher compression nitrous engines in order to bleed off a little bit of the cylinder pressure and a 114 or higher lsa was better suited for a lower compression engine that relies on a bigger hit of nitrous in order to keep the cylinder pressure up.

So, would a Hot Cam and 100-150 shot (wet) be ok? This may not be the optimal combo (I already have the Hot Cam installed), but it's what I have to work with.
Thanks!

 

There are probably many here running hot cam that can chime in and tell you what they gain is on nos. Im sticking with my lt4 hot cam and the NX kit I just bought should arrive friday. Ill
post my gains in this thread after I install the kit.
Good luck, Cliff
