Help! Identify these GSC cams.

I need help identifying these GSC cams. Came out of an Evo VIII. Are they S1's, S2's or something different? Would be nice to know what I got and their duration, lift ect... Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I dont recall my S2''s having "GSC" marked on them. I think one of them had a "2" on it though. Are those older GSC Cams?

Solved! Got w/ Greg @ GSC, he asked for the grind code which is in very fine print opposite of the JH93 stamp. It was stamped PPA which he said is the grind code for S1's. So...
PPA=S1
PPB=S2
PPC=S3
Maybe this will be useful for someone else down the road. Thanks for the help!

Would be nice if they would just put the part number on the cams.
My new GSC S2 274 cams are stamped PPG

This is not correct. these numbers change as to the batch that they are run in.

Excuse the thread revival as I’m also curious. So if the numbers change according to the batch, is there a sure way of confirming? I just got a set for my evo 8 and it says PPB. Do I have a set of s2’s or something else?

It might be best to call GSC as the PPX changes for each batch.
