Default cam & nitrous decisions???

ok guys im having some troubles deciding on what cam to get, i'll give u guys all the info on the car and see what everyone thinks, its a 92 mustang gt with bbk cai, 24lb injectors, matched garrenatelli mass air flow sensor, bbk shorties, bbk x pipe with cats, flow master 40 series with full maneral bent 2 1/2" exhaust, bbk 70mm throttle body with egr plate, cobra upper & lower intake, bbk adj. fuel pressure regulator, bbk underdrive pulleys, msd 6al ignition, msd wires, cap, rotor & coil, I want the cam to have a good idle, fair smooth but also have good power, and as far as the nitrous im thinking of going with the zex active fuel control wet kit... Any infomation will be greatly apreciated!!!

spend your money on a good set of heads first....................my .02
the nitrous is great, but if your going to change the cam, then you are doing a major tear down, and might just wait to do the whole thing at one time. the stock cam will be fine with the nitrous for now, but before you upgrade the cam, look into a good set of heads, and maybe flycutting your pistons too if you want to run heads with bigger valves.tear it down one time and save yourself a lot of work.......

A new cam with stock heads is a waste of time and sometimes power. My buddy had a f-cam,eddy rpm intake. We both had MA,TB,CAI but everything on mine was stock at the time. He had better 60 foot but i always beat him in 1/4. Cam or cam and intake with stock heads are not worth the trouble.
