The only way I know of is to pull the cam out. It should have a model number on it. Then all you have to do Is look it up.

i havent put the set up in the car yet i just closed on a house and i am waiting to move in and i am going to pull apart the front end cause there is some much needed TLC to be done, the car has over 100,000 on it. it was cheap from a cousin in law couldnt pass it up.
On edit: i am looking at the cam right now where would the numbers be and how do you read them?

i asked the guy what the specs would be with 1.7 roller rockers and he said the lift:600 and duration:525 or somethin like that. that seems huge to me but would this be very streetable?

it depends on the druation. also the streetability depends on how much much torque you want down low.
