Default Needing Cam Help!!

I have a 2007 new bodystyle Chevrolet Silverado 1500 crew cab 2wd. It's got the 6.0 L76 vortec max motor with headers, CAI, 125 shot of nitrous, custom tune with 4:10 gears an Auburn locker and 3200 circle D stall. I wanna put a cam in an get the most I can out of it but I'm not sure which cam to go with it IS a Daily Driver id like to run low 8's on motor if possible and mid 7's on spray the heads are gettin ported and polished. What cam do yall recommend? TSP220?, TSP224? I need some advice its a heavy truck Lol. Thanks!!

Tsp 228 if you have a 3600 stall... with your 3200 tsp 224 should scream

If your running nitrous id go for a split cam, 224-232 xer comp cam gets my vote.

When your running nitrous your adding fuel not air so the intake side of the cam should stay the same as if it was na, but when the nitrous burns you create alot more ex gasses so you want to keep the ex valve open longer to get the air out of the engine. 224r would work fine you would just make more power with the bigger ex side.

I'm with Jake! I'd do 222 to 226 on intake side of duration and about a 6-8 degree split from that on exhaust duration! EPS has some sweet cams but the ones on his web page are not what he sells anymore! He needs to update his page!!
I've ran EPS 222-230 dur / 595-600 lift / 112lsa in my '08 Vmax and it was a nice cam and would do good with your converter and spray! Sence then I've went with a bigger cam cause of stroker motor but your truck would scream Fo sho!
