I'm by no means a cam expert, but I do believe skunk 2 will have an S2 or something of that nature around the middle of the cam in between the lobes. I also think they have a couple of letters on the end. I'm not sure, but if you don't see anything between the cam lobes near the middle of the cam, it's not skunk 2.

There is nothing other that the stamped T. I called skunk2 before I got them and they said something would be hand etched at the end of the cam, but this is not hand etched it looks stamped.

So you are saying there are no other stamps in between the lobes or anything just the T on the end of the cams? Put up a pic of the whole cam itself...worst comes to worst you will have to measure the vtec lobe and find the cam that matches the lobe. Would be the only other way to do it.

They might infact be Skunk2 Tuner Series. I know the Pro 2 series has p2 etched on the end. My advice would be to get a micrometer or a digital caliper and measure the vtec lobe and compare to skunk2 tuner series cam lobes. Probably the only way your going to get a definitive answer.
