If they are any type of quality after market cams they are going to be on the main shaft (i.e. anything that isn't polished lol). If theres nothing then they are probably stockers. But hey theres nothing wrong with that

alot of aftermarket cams have hte part number stamped on the very back of the cam. just by looking at them you probly wont be able to tell a difference as many aftermarket cams are regrinds ( they start with a stock cam, add metal, and grindthe profile) so they will look like stock except for stamping.

whats the numbers? most aftermarket cams and regrinds have the duration number stamped on them. though the only "stage" of cams i know of is brian crower cams. no other company i recall called them stages. just durations, like 256, 264, 272, 280, etc.. i believe the hks 5m cams i have are 280 duration, however being they are race cams and wernt sold commercially i wont know untill i can have them spec'd. no part number or duration anywhere on them. they wer machined from hks blanks so only marking on them is hks

Alot of 7m guys use regrinds as upgrades aswell since there arent many options for cams.
