they're located in your head, under the valve cover.. lol

only way that you can find out as far as i'm concerned is pulling the cams out, and comparing them to stock ls cams.

your only gonna be able to tell by taking the valve cover off.....and you might have to remove the cams to make sure.

but even still you might not be able to tell because there are some company's that re-grind the OEM cams....
