Without knowing his other mods I would guess he is better off with the 113 cam.
If he wanted a nice smooth idle then he shouldn't have bought a MS3.

I agree with this. Here is a clip of my MS3.

One degree isn't going to make a noticeable difference in the idle. Is it a full degree tighter, or something like 113.XX? Most every cam will be at least a few tenths of a degree different than the specs you see advertised on Websites and elsewhere.

My T-ReX, for instance, was a 243/249 109.X LSA, even though the specs listed on Thunder Racing's Website are 242/248 110 LSA.

The MS3 lopes plenty hard on the standard 113 LSA. Trust me.

~13.5* of overlap at .05 will do that.
