dumbest cam question every Ok...so this may be the dumbest cam question ever and I know you guys are plenty of those...but here goes.
As you may have read in my other thread I had the infamous balancer bolt backing out problem on my newly purchased 02 z06... That usually means someones been in there for a cam, especially since my balancer looks factory. So.....how do I tell if the car is cammed? I mean.beyond just seat of the pants feel or the sound of the thing... It doesn't have any cazy lope or anything or sound too crazy...but I have nothing to compare too. I'm expecting to hear that its impossible without xray vision but I had to ask

I've had the bolt back out a couple of times on my z06.... Gees its not fun having to remove the steering rack and all just to seat the balancer back on and install a new bolt.

A shop with tuning software will be able to tell if the tune has be modified to accommodate an aftermarket cam. No need to open it up.
