Default Cam Help

I'm looking for a mild cam to put in my daily driver. I want the choppy idle and I think that I a going to go with the T Rex cam.
Can anybody tell me what specs would be the best for a daily driver set up?
Also i need to know a good place for a tune.

T-rex is not anything near a mild cam. Infact, some will argue it's even overkill for some strokers.

Go MS3, best idle with good power and reliability. T-REX will give you most likely all kinds of idle issues, it's way too big for stock cubes IMO.

OR you can hit up someone like Predator and have them spec you a custom cam, but I assure you although their recommendation will be great for torque and power, it will not be a slobbering pig / bad idling / gas consuming for no reason cam like the T-REX you've already chosen for yourself.

Trex, MS3 in a DD?? No, no , no...even on a 6.0l.

stay in the 22x-23x for a DD IMO for a 6.0l..

Yep, anywhere from upper 220's to low/mid 230's.

Now that you mention it my buddies t Rex does give him some problems but his is a bit bigger like a 106 lsa, I'm looking for something like a 114, what would you suggest?
