i can't tell but if someone else can they won't know what cams are in. I would just take the valve cover off. It only takes a couple minutes that way you know what brand and duration. if you do have them id say they are a mild cam since your idle is smooth

^^^ I agree. Like (ckevo8rs) Take off the Valve Cover off and check the cams out.

It may depend on what cams they are. My HKS are stamped right on it in big lettering can't miss it.
