My final numbers with cam: 91-93 HP and 100-103 torque. My stock clutch starting slipping at 4000! Very pleased. Clutch spring and clutch change coming.
Lots of good choices here. I put the TW-222 in my bike for the same reasons the OP stated. Attached is the dyno chart if that helps. The peaky torque curve is really a function of the exhaust and not necessarily the cam. A 2-1-2 exhaust would stretch out the torque curve a bit.
For a drop in cam and performance below 4500 rpm this combo is tough to beat.
OK for the cam now how about a simple to use tuner?
As tuners go (I have tried TMax, Power Commander V, EMS, and now PV), I would go with the Power Vision by Dynojet. It is easy to use, reasonable priced ($419.95 from Direct Cycle Parts or $499.00 from Fuel Moto http://www.fuelmotousa.com/10201493.html - they have promo right now, throwing in the handlebar mount and visor), and you can do the basic auto-tune with your stock O2 sensors. It also has really good support from Dynojet and if you buy from Fuel Moto you get their support which is outstanding and an extra year of warranty. No matter what you might decide to do in the future the PV will support it. So it doesn't matter which cams you go with (my 1st choice the TW-222's from Wood, but they are more expensive or my 2nd choice the 57's from Andrews) Dynojet or FM will have a map that is really close and you don't have to use a laptop, it can all be done with the PV on the bike.

Good luck with your choice.
Peaky or not it still has over 90 torque at 5200 rpms.

Yeah, and it's hitting a 100 ft/lb by 2700. There is nothing wrong with that curve.
