Default cam for stock heads...suggestions?

Hi, my goal is to get max power under the curve (6200 or less RPM) with stock heads. My car is not a DD, but I don't want it to be a real pain to tune. I am wanting to get around 400 RWHP (and good torque). Here's what I've narrowed down to ...based on DCR and overlap:

228/232 110+4 (.588/.595)
228/228 110+4 (.588/.588)
228/228 110+2 (.588/.588)
226/230 110+2 (.585/.592)
226/226 110+2 (.585/.585)
224/228 110+2 (.581/.588)
224/228 112+2 (.581/.588)

Is 10* overlap really that hard to tune? I'm not sure if I want to have to eliminate the MAF sensor from the system to make it run right. Not sure... any insight would be appreciated. I just don't want to spend the money for a cam and only gain like 20 RWHP. BTW, I plan on getting Pacesetter LT's and ORY at the same time as cam/springs/pushrods, etc.

I went with a F11-112....228/230, 576/595.

Made great power under the curve and nice TQ over the powerband.

Also, it was pretty easy to tune....
