Default Hot Cam numbers

Can someone give me the specs on a hot cam?
And which lifters, springs, and roller rockers I will need for the conversion?

Thanks.....

Will the springs in that kit hold up to everyday use? A 90 shot of nitrous?
I have heard they are fairly week springs?

The spring durability is going to depend on RPM only. It won't matter if you're running 4000 rpm's on nitrous or 4000 rpm's N/A it's still 4000 RPM's.

Just don't plan on turning much more than about 6300 RPM's with those springs and you'll be just fine for daily use.
