So I'm assuming I have stockers but I'm not sure?? I have the valve cover off right now due to a leaking gasket and wondered why i would have spring and retainers only. That's the way I bought it so i really don't know. Does it have a stamp on the cams i dis see the exhaust have a 17 and intake have a 16. I can take pics if needed.
 
usually if they are aftermarket cams they will be stamped by the manufacturer. Like HKS and Kelford stamp their camshafts. So if there is no obvious marking of manufacturer on them, chances are they are stockers.
 
Pics would help.

You may have a set of delta regrinds.

Look stock so far.

There should be a large cast Letter towards the front of the cams.

Is there a paint stripe on the cams?

Crower has their stamp on the ends, but they do however have a giant spot of purple on the exhaust cam I think it was
 
No I didn't, those were the only marks I found without taking anything off. So I'm assuming stock for now. That's a good article identification.
