yea this cam wont workl for him then. what gives a cam a choppy idle. i know how it effects power ranges and how it effects the convertor and what not but what actually determines just the sound? the durration?

there is no "canned" response to this and engine size plays a part in this as well.  Cam X in a 400 that is smooth will sound "cammed" in a 305, but yes long durations make one choppy.  And if you are putting one in a stock 93 block, it is going to run like crap as long durations need more compression and more stall, etc etc etc...
