ok I didnt get any bites on the other threads... so I'll try it here..
I am getting a good deal on this cam (by comp 220/220 XE lobes (273/273) .564/.564 114+4)
I am currently running a TB converter, (stalls ~2500).... I am no cam guru but is the 114+4 LSA better (low end)than the normal 114LSA, If Im not mistaken the +4 helps on the low end??? or what does the +4 mean?? also will the +4 change the lope sound on it???
also I will be spraying a 100shot in the near future so I got to consider a cam for that as well??
thanks....

This cam should idle pretty good with an advertised duration of 273'/273' (but it also depends on how much overlap it has). I don't know about NOS, but with an 114LSA you should be ok. Hopefully someone else can chime in on that. 

I agree with BBT
Your going to need every rpm of stall that converter will give. That cam should just start building torque at about the stall rpm. A bit more compression would help, but the NOS will fix any softness in the power curve
Good luck,
Richard
