Just FYI, Lunati in MS will Plasma Nitride your cams, cranks and what-not.
Just
had them do my TR6 crank last week.

Nitriding cams
I not agree with that.
Steel get its strength from carbon
build into the iron structure and these
carbon atoms do make the standard
steel harder, especially if the steel is
heat treated.
Cast iron has most of
the carbon between the iron grains, so the strength is
not high. To enforce
more surface strength the nitride atoms enter to the
iron grains and make them
harder like with the steel and so it should be a
benefit to the whole cam.
The cam I got from Larry is still in the chilled cast condition without
nitride treatment, but the lifters are nitrite hardened and they are cast
iron
too. Seems to work fine.
All my other cams were nitride hardened and they
lasted too....after I
grinded the lifters dead flat.
Cheers
Chris

Nitriding work on steel, TR cams are made of cast
iron. Nitriding will not
give any benificial results.
