WTf are you saying?

I am saying a cam with a lot of exhaust duration and smaller amount of overlap will be more beneficial to nitrous and or a free flowing exhaust.

All cams will have some benefit from a more free flowing exhaust and nitrous. Saying that this cam will benefit is like saying more horspower will improve acceleration..yes, duh. and this cam has 11* overlap, which is on the larger scale for cams.

I was going for a cam more optimized for nitrous application and messed up calculating overlap... oops. lol

Why did you pick that cam? what goals do you have with it ? what are you looking for? a timming chain is always good ins during a cam swap

i didnt want to go to big of a cam just something a little better than stock. and i found it for a great price. i dont really have any goals for my z just want to mod it a little to give it some more power. was going to drag race it alot but i changed my mind. ill take it to the track every now and again though.

I noticed in the WTB section you are looking for headers w/Air and EGR. I suggest that you get the race version, becuase you will most likely delete all that crap when you do the install. And since you will be getting a tune for the cam, it would be easy to delete the air and egr.
