Radical is in the eye of the beholder. A good street cam IMO, would be straight or split profile, have 23x* @ .050" lift, .58ish lift, and for a lopey idle, a lsa of 112* or even 110*. This is for a naturally aspirated engine.

Nitrous is a chemical supercharger. It puts extra oxygen in the cylinder in a different way but the end result is teh same: you end up with more power and more exhaust gas. A cam with a split profile which has more exhaust duration than intake duration and more exhaust lift than intake lift will help empty the cylinder. Like: 228*/238* and .580"/.600".
