How to tell N/A cams????

[chriso]

Is there a way to tell which cams are N/A or Turbo just by looking at them, measuring them, or just some kind of casting markings. I know this is a stupid question but I have four sets of camshafts that I took off of messed up heads. Two are from N/A heads and the other two are from turbos. The markings I put on all of them are worn off and now I can't tell which are which.

To be honest with you, they are all the same, some people say that putting N/A cams in the GTE will give some power, but thats a lie, theyre all the same

the intake is different. same exhaust. i would think that since the n/a intake has less lift that you could meashure from the tip of the lobe to the other side(the fat part of the cam) and the n/a will meashure smaller than the turbo cam. never done this, pretty shure it will work. in my quick search for threads on n/a cams i didnt see anything on how to tell them apart. sorry.
