Default Which cams are people using with nitrous?

For everyone here who is spraying, which set of aftermarket cams are you using (if any). How do you like them? I am currently looking at a set of crower 402's for some power off the bottle and to scoot my power band up a little bit.

Yeah, up to around 8k RPM haha. It really depends on what you are trying to do with the car and where you want your powerband to be.

nothing was asked about power band. but yes your right. peak power is @7800 on my setup and holds(barely falls off) good all the way to redline(8400). Numerous factors go into play with every setup, cams, gearing, tire size, cam degreeing, intake manifold, header, etc. Your right its also what your trying to accomplish. With a b16 tranny and 24.5x9 tire im trapping 116-117 on the spray with more mph left(got some kinks to work out of the setup and should se 120mph).

Well ITR cams probably wont fit in my b18a1 head (I know I gave very vague information on my goals and my setup). So I didn't expect some exact results. But yes I do have a built block semi stock head (intake and exhaust ports port matched to sk2 IM and Knock off header). But I am looking to move my power band towards the higher end. Right now off the bottle it feels like it falls on its face after 5700. I still have 7200 redline and I don't plan on putting a vtec head on or even removing the head that is on there, I have a big life change coming up (wedding, new house). So I plan on getting a new car just looking for a few more ponies before I have to put this ol baby in the shed for awhile. I only hit the juice in 3rd and 4th gear. The first two gears in my GSR Trans go by quick. I already have my eye on the crower 402s, For a minimal gain and sliding the power band up, with a set of adj cam gears in the event I need to adjust timing. Sorry I'm rattling again, anyways, Just seeing what everyone is doing out there, getting a ton of info for nitrous on Honda's is one thing. Seems like a whole other ball game to try and get cam information for Nitrous use on Hondas.

is your setup tuned? should make power above 5700 on stock cams. something isn't right if power is dieing after 5700.
