RE: 87 blower and NOS
You're gonna want a cam with good durations, as much lift as you can get without compromising your valves, and no overlap (since you are going with forced induction, you don't need any exhaust scavenging, and overlap would just blow air and fuel out the exhaust. You'll also wanna watch your compression ratio, as the blower and NOS will lower your usable compression on any given grade of fuel significantly. I would try to keep her right around 9:1-9.5:1 for pump gas. If you have a Sunoco nearby, you might see if they sell 98 octane (it's street legal around here, dunno if it is where you are.) If you can get that, and have it in the car all the time, you could probably go with 10:1 or maybe even 10.5:1, and you'd get a hell of alot more power out of that, but you'd also be spending a lot more on gas. Not that you should be worrying about fuel economy with a blower anyway, but I'm throwing it in there just in case. Also,if you give us some more stats on the engine, you could get a more specific cam recomendation.
