Default b16 sir 2 cams

i'm about to get some b16(170hp) sir 2 cams for my first gen b16
how can i tell if i'm really geting the right cams. is there any thing on the cam that can identify it as being the second gen b16 cams
how much more power can i expect? how much more hp?
i heard that the only reason the second gen b16 has 10 more hp is from the cams.
is this true? and if it is can i expect 10 more hp?

No, a 2nd gen also has a larger TB (60 not 58mm) and higher compression ratio (10.4 not 10.2) so the cams will only make a small difference
