So, if a stock 5.3 cam (190/191-114) can produce 100rwhp off of a 100 jet, what is really going to stop you from achieving the same results despite your 'reverse split' camshaft? The answer is nothing.

For off an on N2O usage, cam for all-motor and let the N2O/FUEL jets decide the power levels. If you want more power, put some bigger jets in. Opening up the exhaust can also help if you are restricted on this side of things.

...I wouldn't worry about getting a nitrous cam, get a cam thats runs great all motor, so on spray it runs even better. Unless spraying like 150 shot or more there won't be much a difference between a regular aftermarket cam vs. a nitrous one.

Thats exactly what i would say. Get that motor running badass NA and then go to nitrous. Choosing a cam around Nitrous is foolish IMO. Are you going to compromise your NA power for Nitrous power. Simply get all you can out of your NA setup then add the proper jetting to get you where you WANT to be.
