No issues with the cams I've done so far, one in daily use for 6 years now.

I've read on the subject that it may or may not increase the size of the component depending on how the process is done. None of that was even part of the discussion on the Z cam when I had that done.

Even some crankshafts were factory nitrided, my 302 Z engine was one.
