Default Cam gurus need help figuring out a cam

I went to do a cam swap in my car and the original owner said he had a 220/220 cam put in but my car and no rumble or anything . I had reason to believe that nothing was put in because it was mostly bone stock and he quoted it dyno in at 360 hp. Well once I got it I did headers , exhaust and a ls6 manifold and got it tuned and did 335/356 tq ( it's a auto) .

So I removed the cam last night and to my suprise all the cam says on the back is a E and 3 stamped into it. I'm assuming this is not a stock LS cam right ? I tried googling picture of stock cams but nothing looked like what is on the back.

With those specs it should have had an uneven idle or even a little bit of lope. Did it? If it idled smoothly the cam is stock or very close to it. My .02

Not at all super quiet even with open exhaust . The guy put polished / slightly ported 799 heads on the motor which I did see when swapping manifolds. I am excited to see how much power this cam swap will bring .
