Yes. No need to tear the engine apart.
You could also measure/degree the cam to figure out what duration size it is, what the max lift is, and how it is installed.

With your stock setup, and for street application you may not want to change much.
You could install some cheap 1.7:1 rocker arms to get more performance from the cam you have.

Example:
CAT 1.7:1 Stainless steel rocker assembly $360.

There you go , use CCJ rockers and you'll be doing a shortblock in no time
