it's pretty hard to set and engine up for nitrous and then switch to a SC without starting over.

w/e... it was just an idea. i'll probably just run around in the car for a while n/a with low compression and the s/c cam until i get the s/c itself. got any ideas on a cam?

cams

Best bet is to call Comp cams and give them your combo and what you want to accomplish and they will custom grind one for you. It does not cost any more than an off the shelf cam and you will get something better suited for your combo. I have Comp cams custom grind all my cams for my cars and they usually arrive at my door in 3 days for the same cost of something out of a catalog. They have pretty quick turn around. Larry.
