Default couple questions about my set-up

When I bought my 98 Formula all of the motor work was already done and have reciepts to prove all of the work done to it.

My cam is: 228/232 .588/.591 112lsa

The motor was rebuilt with all new parts about 2-3years ago.

He put in Diamond Racing LS1 forged flat top pistions with -2cc valve reliefs

The trans has a 3500 stall converter with 2.5str

What does the 2.5str mean? I just typed that in because that is what was listed by the guy I bought it from...

What is my cam typically used for? Is it a nitrous cam?

I've also got comp 26918 springs in teh car...I guess they are about 30-40K miles on them...How long should they last?

Nitrous stall and cam it sounds like.
918's are probably worn out by now. They are not going to be that high of a mileage spring on a cam like that.
