Cam identification

So today, I finally took off my valve cover to see what kind of cams these are and so far, there's no imprint like "HKS" or something. Only imprint I can find is the number "1" on the hex nut. It's also on the exhaust side too. Don't know if this is normal for a stock cam or not. Reason I'm asking is because of the lopey idle and how much faster this car actually is compared to a stock Evo.

take a picture of the cams and post it up....there are several people on here that are good with identifying cams based on just a picture. I know my S2's had yellow marks/painted area on them out of the box.

Stock cams have holes

Look for an imprint by the first cam cap on the lip of the cam.

My old HKS cams have HKS molded into them in a spot, and my new GSC cams have GSC stamped into a flat spot somewhere I forget where. Look on the end of the cam, meaning the flat spots, thats where they mark em on alot of V8's anyway. I can tell you where it says the markings on mine later if you want

Bump.
Anyone want to take a stab at what these are?

Also, will I need anything else to put back on the valve cover? Otherwise, I'm just going to put it on with the gasket alone unless someone says I need some kind of lube or something.

Yeah you're fine, you don't need no lube or anything. Just screw all the bolts threaded in a few turns first then snug em down or else some might not line up
