Default Choppiest idle cam without stall upgrade??

Hey guys, what cam can you recommend me that has the choppiest idle with no need of converter upgrade??
It is for my 4x4 offroad truck.. I use my truck as a daily drive and hit the dunes and dirt casually thats why I dont want to go big on a stall..
Thanks in advance!!

I have an xr259hr in my truck and it lopes pretty nicely and I don't run a stall.

I've heard of people running bigger it just depends on how good your tuner is.

If you want a choppy idle, ask your tuner to set the spark attack and retard to 15 degrees for the firing order. As I understand it the engine will then idle like a pro stock truck, with no other mods needed.
