On my 496 my Hughes cam is installed at 105 degrees and 108 degree lobe separation. I have sprayed 200 shot so far and I will be spraying 300 shot next time out. I do drive this on the street occasionally, with a cam with a higher lobe separation I would think the motor might be a little more lazy when not spraying. If this was a dedicated Nitrous motor then I would choose a Nitrous cam. My motor is apart now and getting freshened up. I"m going to make a cam change after getting my heads back from Fastlane Machine and seeing what they flow. What is your plan for your motor? Nitrous only? Matt



When thinking about a nitrous street/strip motor consider do you want to maximize performance when on the spray? If you choose a cam designed to maximize performance naturally aspirated you compromise performance on the button. Personally when I'm driving the car on the street I'm not racing so I'm OK trading naturally aspirated power for an overall faster car on the button.
