Probably 224/224 114, maybe 224/224 112.

With all bolt-ons, close to 400 rwhp.

-7 degrees of overlap at .050" is the general limit for cams that pass emissions. Anything with more overlap seems to have a really tough time. As Predator mentioned, the TR 224/224 114LSA cam is an example of one that barely squeaks by. The TR CheaTR cam is around -10 degrees of overlap FWIW.
