nitrous cams

ok now everyone that knows I am swapping in a JDM H22A engine in my 98 Civic CX. Right now it is currently underway. I am thinking about what cams I should install for it. I was initially going to go all motor. Unfortunately like everyone knows there are limitations to going all motor. Like drivability and u can only go so fast all motor. Yes even in an H22A'd Civic hatchback. So instead of going a stage 3 cam and some crazy TWM intakes I have decided I will go a bit conservative for drivability and throttle response. I mean truthfull I prolly will only barely reach high 11's on slicks with a totally built all motor'd H22A with DPR stage 6 port job and everything, and knowing me thats just wont be enough. I am a speed freak. Nothing is ever fast enough for me. I just dont see myself being happy with high 11's forever, not to mention with all the problems that come with it. So I think that I will go with a stage 2 cam (crower or Skunk2), and a Skunk2 intake manifold. So I will be happy with low 12's all motor, and when that isnt enough I wouldnt mid squeezing a 50 shot (or maybe a 100 shot once the internals are built up). So here is my dilema. Does anyone know what cam is more responsive to nitrous.

Crower stage 2
intake.... 297 duration/ .466 lift
exhaust..287 duration/ .465 lift

Skunk2 stage 2
intake......270 duration/ .505 lift
exhaust...275 duration / .465 lift

Obviously I want a cam that will perform well all motor also. Kinda like a best of both worlds type of thing. So does nitrous respond better to a high overlap cam, or a higher lift cam and less overlap? Obviously nitrous injected into the engine uses atmospheric pressure to get it to the cylinders so a turbo cam wont be effective so dont suggest it.
