Well, the G5x3 is a pretty popular cam around here.. It's going to have a rough idle, and is more for a manual transmission.
Another one I think would be good is the 234/240@50 .598/.608 114 from 21st Century Muscle Cars. Again though, it's rougher cam more for an M6.
Not sure on the auto side, but we have at least one guy on here who's an avid nitrous drag guy, and he posts some awesome times. Maybe he'll chime in before too long.

Give Nick @ Newtech performance a call and tell him you want the specs on the cam he put in Eddie Traylor's Silver Nitrous car (C6Z). I don't have the specs handy or I'd post them - this is a cam you should consider if you can deal with a pretty aggressive cam. This cam does VERY well with Nitrous. It made over 1,000 ft lbs of torque just last night.

I run the 234/240 from 21CMC. The cam has an aggressive idle and works very well with the LPE worked heads. If you are going to run N20 make sure and upgrade the valve springs, 21CMC knows what to do there. Mine wakes up at around 4000 rpm on the motor so I set the window switch to spray at 3200 to wake it up a little earlier and help with traction. I tried spraying it at 4000 rpm and just roasted the tires. at 3200 the extra power comes in before the cam wakes up instead of it all happening at once. I am only spraying a 75 wet shot now, but will be moving up to a 125 shot when the weather cools off and can get it back on the dyno.

It's a good idea to have a cam with some overlap and more exhaust duration. You don't want to build too much cylinder pressure too early when spraying. If you have a low overlap, single pattern cam, bring the nitrous in a little later with a window switch. It is safest to spray a good dry system. Less chance of taking your intake off and leaving the bolts behind.
