GM cams have the last 4 digits of the part # on the end of the cam, along with some other #s. If it is a 01 LS6 cam you should see 0950 on the end, and if it is a 02+, you should see 5308.

If i knew the specs i wouldn't be posting this.

And no. It just sais C and 2. I'm guessing it's the MTI c2. But i was hoping it wasn't because i was gonna use this cam with a turbo. Not sure how the MTI C2 is with the turbo. The specs on the MTI C2 Cam are : 224/224 .581/.581 112 lsa. Wonder how well it would work with a turbo ls1.

I would not take a chance and assume it's a C2. Take it or mail it to a shop with a cam doctor. It's not expensive at all and well worth not screwing up a motor.

Took a picture of the cam, and something showed up i couldn't even see with my bare eyes. Even now that i know it's there i can't read what it sais. But in this picture it's clearly visible.

Yeah that's what it looks like. I still rather have it checked though. Just to make sure.

Yeah its a really good idea...I mean if it says 221 then it most likley is, but I would want to be a 100% sure that it is.
