I'd imagine its the one with the shorter duration (270) as an engine with a very lumpy cam can be a pig to drive on the road.

I'd go for around 270 too on standard injection.

a kent NVO series cam (they are overlapped for injection engines) and with std management id stick with 285 TOPS. It shouldnt be that lumpy but it will be "peaky" since the afm would get confused to a point blah blah blah

lazy mofo :p
www.needforspeed.co.uk (http://www.needforspeed.co.uk) is a usefull resource for info regarding kits etc but a little pricey imho. also a full "kit" isnt vital...
