Valve Springs

The camshaft specifications you provided (Part No. 3232590T & 3242590) indicate a mild performance street cam suitable for mid-range and upper RPM performance. Here are the key specifications for this camshaft:

• RPM Range: 2800 – 6500
• Part Numbers:
  • Intake Camshaft: 3232590T
  • Exhaust Camshaft: 3242590
• Advance Duration (Degrees):
  • Intake: 262
  • Exhaust: 262
• Duration @ 0.050” (Degrees):
  • Intake: 208
  • Exhaust: 208
• Valve Lift (Inches):
  • Intake: 0.471″
  • Exhaust: 0.471″

These specifications suggest a camshaft designed for improved performance in the mid-range and upper RPMs. It is considered mild, making it suitable for street applications where a good balance of power and drivability is desired.

Given the mild nature of the camshaft, standard valve springs are specified, which simplifies the installation process. However, it’s essential to consider the following:

1. Engine Tuning: A proper engine tune is still crucial to optimize the performance of the camshaft and ensure the air-fuel mixture and ignition timing are adjusted accordingly.
2. High-Stall Converter: While the RPM range is moderate, a high-stall torque converter can still enhance drivability and acceleration, particularly if the vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission.
3. Computer Calibration: Ensure that the engine management system is calibrated to accommodate the new camshaft specifications.

This camshaft should provide a noticeable improvement in mid-range torque and upper RPM power without sacrificing too much low-end performance. It’s a well-balanced choice for a street-driven vehicle.
