Default Nitrous + Cams?

I wanted to run a 75 shot on my 01 gsr but dont want that to be the only source of power from the engine. To clear things up basically I wana get some cams and prep the head so that when I dont use the bottle I still have power up top.

Questions:

1. What cams could I use to benifit my set up the best?

'00-'01 ITR cams. You don't want to have too much overlap with forced induction.

I have seen people do it with S2 stage 1 cams though.

overlap dosent matter with nitrous, your not forcing air like boost.

But ITR cams would be good, get skunk stage 1s if you are gonna build the head.

Overlap does matter, to a degree, more so when running higher shots. If there is TOO much overlap there will be less time for combustion in the chamber. It will literally be "sucked" out, a little anyways. And some of the benefit is lost.

It WILL work, just not optimally for higher shots.

yea, w/ alot of overlap, the nitrous blows straight through the head, correct? I thought what you were trying to say was that too much overlap w/ nitrous can hurt your engine like too much overlap w/ boost.

Sorry quick question, right now im running the ITR cams and a 50 shot, do you think this is a good idea? How long will my motor last? And i have never heard of overlap, what is it? How much is too much Nitrous and is Head work required, recommended? Sorry for the newbie questions im still new.
