Default Cam limitations for nitrous

I’m run the comp 224/230 on 114 I run 250 shot on, but it seems like runs better on a 200 then 250, didn’t gain much. Fastest pass with 200 shot was 7.13 and fastest pass on 250 was 7.09? Do y’all think I’m bout to the limits of the cam? Time to upgrade?

Yep!
Get a dedicated nitrous cam and it will make a difference.

Ive got buddys that run this cam in SBE 6.0s with either a Vic Jr or a holley High ram. Doubt the TBSS intake will work great with it tho.

Bad thing about a nitrous cam is they usually arent spectacular off nitrous.

What are you solenoid Orfice sizes?

Have you flowed your nitrous kit?

It has nothing to do with your cam. You're blowing through your torque converter when you're putting more nitrous pill in it. Therefore, your ET doesn't change much
