Cam Identification

Hi all, how do tell a uprated cam from a standard cam, cant see any imprints saying piper or kent as I would have imagined.

My cam is meant to be a piper but I cant tell.

Anyone know????

Cheers

its a t285t2 then a high lift cam for an rs turbo you will need the followers and springs to go with it. a piper t285 is a mild cam,youve got the high lift one.
