Maybe it is tuned and it was supposed to have a jacked up idle. If so, I apologize.

Sorry to say, your handheld tuner won't do much for you once you get a cam.
You can get a good loping idle from a shorter duration cam with the right amount of overlap. Many have had great success with the 224/228 cams ground on a 110 LSA. With your auto and stock heads, get it advanced at least 2 degrees, if not 4 and you'll like it. You'll need to replace the springs and pushrods at the same time, and you would be well advised to consider an LS6 Oil Pump and LS2 Timing set also.
