Sorry to bring this thread back. I happen to have got a set of these camshafts with just a 2 on both the intake and exhaust. Have been trying to figure out what they are. Were you able to find out the answer?

The only marking on them are the number 2 on both intake and exhaust cams so this is all we have to go on as of now.

Bump to this.

I have evo 3 and cams stamped only with number 2. Just same look as in this picture.

Mesurements are exactly same as hks 264 on intake and exhaust.

You guys thought this post was dead huh? Let me reanimate it. Just bought an 8 and need to tune, but can't until I figure out what my intake cam is. I have a greddy exhaust cam, but my intake cam is just like these, stamped only "2".

Quite a few years have went by so maybe someone knows what these elusive cams are.

Honestly this car is 189k miles and I'm only trying to conservatively get it on the road until winter for a tear down.

The best thing I can say is to measure for the lifts of the cam. I was never able to find the exact maker of the cams. I am consistently told they are old style GSC S2 cams but even with contacting GSC they tell me its not theirs. So best bet is to measure the cam out and get a conservative tune. Or buy a new/used set of cams.
