Question Nitrous Camshaft Profile

This was actually brought up in another forum, but I thought I would post the question here as well...

I am curious as to the proper Camshaft profile for a Nitrous based car. My understanding (Circa the 1990's) is that increased duration is beneficial due to flushing the increased heat from the cylinders, and that optimal lobe angle should be between 112 and 115 degrees. Now most of that knowledge is second hand, and at least 15 years old, and I know it maybe completely worthless.

So here is the question:

What type of Camshaft is beneficial for small to moderate nitrous shots (i.e. 100-200HP) and why? What should I look for in camshaft selection and why? What should I stay clear of?

The car has had the following Engine mods done:

Steeda UDP's
JBA LT's
JBA O/R H
Comp ***** Thumpr
BBK 62MM TB
BBK CAI
Bassani High Flow Cats (Welded in)
Dyno Tuned at 92 Octane

Future Mod's include:
24# injectors
Intake
BAP or Pump
Heads

The car is primarily a drift car, and the N2O shot would only be used for the occasional track day where I decide to keep the wheel straight. I obviously have already made a camshaft selection (and am very happy with it) but am not opposed to changing that if needed.

Thanks guys!

I've been curious if the Thumprs work well with NAAWZ as well.

I keep "eye balling" that Zex kit...
