do cams help with a nitrous shot? can you run a generic blower cam or do you need a custom grind?

And for the gears, 4:10's would work well w/ the power you'll be producing; but your tires won't like them too much. 3:73's would be great and won't spin up the tires too bad, but the 4:10's would love the power you'd be making. Make sure you get some Mickey T's if you go 4:10's...

4.10's work well but you may run out of gear at the track if you have a 5 speed and the factory rev limiter. I had to step up to a taller tire because I was hitting the rev limiter at 110mph beofre I reached the finish line.

Damn, 110 maxes it out in 5th? I didn't realize that... I just had 4.10's installed today, but I have to wait to install my new tranny before I can witness their true potential. What tire did you end up running to compensate?

and no you won't max out at 110mph in 5th, but you don't want to spray in 5th either. 110mph is about all you'll get out of 4th.
