easiest way is to take off valve cover(10-15mins) and check for a company name..i know HKS has "HKS' on there cams...not sure about everyone else...

or if you dont have a tune then the idle will be rough depending on company/grind

get someone to pull the map.... if it has cams the idle settlings will be altered... if its stock idle settings with cams itll sound ridiculous and you wont be asking if its cammed...

that is the easiest way... =-)

Go take a ride in a stock evo.

You'll know almost immediately if yours is cammed

ok, after listening to those, some sounding like the ams shop car, mine is nothin like that,...but you do clearly hear a lopey idle, however my boost gauge does show a vac of 19..so i guess maybe the cams are stock

you should be able to see the hole as circled in step #18 in the evomoto.com install guide. if you have a vac of 19 you have stock cams. stock cams do give a slightly lumpy idle

If you can, post a sound clip and let us hear. That should definitely help you get an answer to your question.
