Author Topic: valve springs 84SVOrick ¯ Member # 9039 posted                              I went down to vic hubbards the other day, was asking about valve springs. The guy at the counter said stock gt40 springs will clear an e cam. Is that true or should i still upgrade them? -------------------- Bay Area Stunnaz RIP Jeannera "FOXY302" 10/29/87-10/9/10 1984 SVO 302 HCI a basic bitch 1986 GT FOXY302 stolen and totaled R.I.P.

Posts: 1928 | From: Vallejo CA | Registered: Mar 2009  |  : 5.0 with some go ¯ Member # 8248 posted                              well seeing how the gt40 springs are good till 550 lift and the e cam is under 500 lift you should be just fine...u want to give yourself about 50 lift more on the springs then the cam provides to stay safe without valve float at higher rpms.

The intake side flows 240 cfm at .550'' lift and the exhaust flows 170 cfm at .500'' lift. The 1.94'' intake and 1.54'' exhaust valves allow for more flow, creating more power I was thinking gt40x springs my bad..disregard previous statement lol Posts: 247 | From: walnut creek ,ca | Registered: Feb 2008  |  : 84SVOrick ¯ Member # 9039 posted                              Other then debates anybody got any info for me? -------------------- Bay Area Stunnaz RIP Jeannera "FOXY302" 10/29/87-10/9/10 1984 SVO 302 HCI a basic bitch 1986 GT FOXY302 stolen and totaled R.I.P.
