Please define "Big"......

That artical is a pretty mild motor...

the article doesnt really refer to what i was talking about , just something i read while trying to find the answer , and there was no info about it. using 800-1000 hp worth of nitrous , what kind of cam are these guys using , or is it top secret stuff ? and what is the limit on a 4.600 bore as far as pumping the juice ?

Typical the heads used for real NO2 engines are done different than N/A..... If that means anything, But I'm not up on the cam tech used for "Big Boy Hits" But it does make sence using a bigger exhaust lobe and spreading out the LS

speak with you engine builder, I think he might know a thing or two about nitrous......... and cams for nitrous...

That article is about using the correct camshaft for taking advantage of nitrous with a relatively mild street engine.

If you KNOW a particular race engine is going to be used with nitrous ALL THE TIME then you can take advantage of a special NITROUS grind.
A few degrees of extra intake duration, a few more degrees of extra exhaust duration and a wider lobe separation than what would normally be used in that combination NA, would be better utilized when using nitrous.
REMEMBER, nitrous is a TORQUE maker.

if everybody spoke with there engine builder there would ne no need for this place



i just had several general questions .is there such a cam? , were they blowing smoke?, is there a limit on a 580-600 cu inc as far as filling the cylinder with nitrous ?

Load it up till it goes "BOOOM", then back it off a little.

^^^this.........the cam profile has everything to do with it but your heads can be a very big plus for "man shots".
