Cam or no Cam?

Take a listen to the link below. Guy I bought it from says it has an E303 in it... What do you guys think?

YouTube - Mild cam, Flo-Pro exhaust, Cobra Intake, Long tube headers.....

I think it definitely has a cam, otherwise it would not run.

Nice! Thanks for the intelligent response!

It was a response that matched the intelligence of the question. If anybody tells you they can tell anything about a cam, solely by the sound, they are full of shit. It's either not stock, or you have a vacuum leak. That's about it.

If you want to know, pull the timing chain cover off, and look at the number stamped on the end of the cam, or get a dial indicator, and a degree wheel, and check it.

Sorry man, I wasn't trying to be rude or otherwise... I plan to pull the front off, just thought someone could give me some insight.

You have to bring your fire suit when you come in here. It defiantly has an aftermarket cam, but there's no way of telling anything about it by the sound. A lot of things affect the idle in a cam profile. There should be a number stamped on the front of the cam. You'll have to pull the timing cover, and the cam gear to see it. If you know how to use a degree wheel, and a dial indicator, you can figure out the actual specs.
