What cam? Ive got a 2000 TA with LT, cut-outs., magnaflow cat-back. LID.
Im looking for a good cam. Ive got a set of 3.73's that im going to install but im looking for a good daily driver cam. I want a good idle. Any recomendations on a good cam-only setup?

god....how many of these need to get posted...
try reading the first 10 pages (scan the titles) of this forum....there are probably a dozen questions just like yours.
and i'll give you the typical answer
TR224....figure 375rwhp cam only
F13....figure about 390 with a bit rougher running engine
F14 or Torquer 2 for a noticable idle, and 400rwhp
there is alot of talk about the 228 cam...but i can't think of the manufacturer at the moment

228 or TR224 was what i was thinking. I did scan the titles and came up with a few like mine but the mods were more than mine and they were looking for a completely didnt use. Torquer 2 seems a bit much but numbers look good. As far as power under the curve goes. Which cam would have a flatter torque curve?

well to get any cam's full potential you need a reasonable amount of mods.
and from what you listed, you have the major ones...intake, exhaust and gears.
your biggest problem is gonna be driveline. stock clutch won't handle the power of a bigger cam...particularly on juice. it may not even handle the 224's power alone.
if its an auto, the TC will be holding you back.
