All cams will work with nitrous, but there are cams that are ground just for Nitrous, just as there are cams ground for turbos and blowers. You will be fine running a 100 shot with that cam....

Unless you have a direct port nitrous dedicated motor, I'd run a solid N/A cam, since your driving around N/A 99% of the time, spraying 1%.

you'll be fine but in the future for the best performance ive been told run a 114 LSA for the juice, but most the guys i know running the spray have a 112 so i dont know how much water that holds, but most cams are okay for steroids.

IMHO n20 cams are waste of time for average person. unless you have a pure track vehicle that lives on N20 then it is a waste....NA cam is where its at for 99% of ppl

Correct on this one. The last thing you want to do on an N2O cam is add more exhaust duration for to make more RPM, then you render the N2O less effective where it should be, down low.
