Really with a 302 street car, the cam you have will work fine. What I would do is go ahead and put a hundred shot on the car and see how you like it. Then decide if what I want is more. The car should be pretty fast just like that.
I was hammered when I posted that the other night but, what I was getting at is that I have seen cars with a na cam run the same time as motors with a nitrous cam and way more nitrous.
Anyways, somehting like a Steeda 18, trickflow cam, or something from comp should help it some. I wouldn't go custom cam on a street car though and just let the gas make the power. If a custom cam wouldn't have came with the junkyard motor I bought, I would have went back with the stock cam and my 1.7 rockers.

So, After going back and forth on what I want out of this build I have come to the conclusion that I will sell off my nitrous kit I have and lean towards a blower instead "BUT," The blower will be bought LATER...about six months or so maybe even later.
That being said, the car is still a street car, stock bottom, TFS, Systemax, 1 3/4 Long Tubes and 3.55's...EXACTLY whats the difference in (hp and tq) between the n41 and b31 in either N/A or Blown??? Is there that much of a difference that would make me wish I went with one over the other after I installed it? I dont want to mill the heads for the N41 cam if they are straight, just want to keep compression stock but get as much power out of my sock botttom end.
Second, After this long post (Again I really appreciate everyone that has read and gave there advice) I need to buy a cam that I will be happy with. I guess what I want is one that will work awesome N/A and hit my desired 450rwhp goal with the blower. That would make more sense right? Or, work good NA and Awsome with the blower???
BUT...Wouldnt dailing up more "PSI" on the blower make up the difference on the cam that would work Awsome N/A??? So which one..
