Is my car cammed?

I know im going to get flamed for this one hahaha. I got the car with unknown mods. After listening to non cammed evos ifeel like the exhaust of my car is "lumpier". The car pulls really hard up to, hangs with an M6 on the highway. Mods: turbo back. uicp, licp, hks bov, mbc @21-22 psi, ttp ecuflash, 10.5 hotside. Aside from the obvious answer of pulling the valvec over off is there any way to really tell? Would logs in mistsulogger tell the tale?

You could check the nuts on the cam gears for any signs of removal. If the car has a lobe to the exhaust note then it's cammed or missing on a cylinder .

Have you had the car dynoed? If so what are the numbers?

Do you have a lope in the exhaust?

How does it pull up top?

I see your in long branch NJ. I am in Oceanport, town over. Send me a PM I will come check your car out and tell you if you are cammed.

the cam gear nuts look like they have had a wrench or socket on them. they are marked 223. Are they stock cam gears?

if you pull the map you can check idle settings.

If you see more than 5 deg timing in the top left corner than you most likely have cams.


It could be that you need new spark plugs that its doing that, my idle gets real nasty before it even starts misfiring on pulls
