Default indentify camshaft

Hi im Mark from the Netherlands Amsterda

I bought a 2002 electra glide
The bike was equipes with
Rine hart true duals
S&S shorty G
screaming eagle rpm module

Now I opened the cam chest for tensioner inspection and found out there are S&S gear driven gears and also adjustable pushrods

How do I find out which camshafts I have because of the S&S gear kit whitout tearing down everything

If you rotate the engine a bit further, there will be the cam designation where the red arrow is.

I think the cam stamp marking is on the inboard end not the red arrow end. Pull the plate
