    I'd start with a hydraukic cam (do to $$$$ considerations) or if in the budget a hydraulic roller, with somewhere around 230/238 @ .050 with a .575 or thereabouts lift, mill the heads to about 112 CC's and run a dual plane intake.

    It's a starting point and should perform well with or without the nitrous.

    roller is were i would go. just happen to have a new one for sale 4/7 swap steel core .this cam can make good power 238/246 627/627 112 but you shoud have abit more cr. if no money the first cam hyd flat will make very good power use a dual plane is well . we have used some of them . but hard to say if it will live thru break in thats why i use roller cams on bbc
