If you don't mind me asking how much did you pay for the vortec's? Take a look at Pace Performance for the best deals on Vortec's I have seen, and they come machined with steam holes. Tim is right that the 882's would be an excellent match up but beware of machine work. It can run up the cost a ton AND screw up your compression ratio so if you go with used heads don't buy pistons until they are machined and ready to go. The biggest thing for ET is going to be your suspension, HP is what gets you high MPH but ET is almost entirely in the first 60Ft of the track. Ordinarily I would say stay away from adjustable partsand keep it simple but with an 84 the rear is probably going to need some squaring up so get the adjustable panhard bar and LCA's. If you are on a tight budget I would skip the adjustable torque arm, it is an awesome tool but will probably only net you a few hundreths on a mostly street car and costs double then a standard tranny MT non-adjustable. Having had 4 different torque arms I can tell you for a street strip car I love my non-adjustable tranny MT arm and I can still cut 1.6XX's at the track. Just my opinion. Before you buy SFC's decide if you are going to get a roll bar/cage. (FYI you need a bar at 11.99 and a cage at 9.99). If you are putting in a roll bar I wouldn't bother with SFC's. If the bar is installed correctly it will do far more then SFC's and it will just be 20-30 less pounds on the car. If you don't know if you are doing abar then go ahead and get them. And my biggest piece of advice is to not get frustrated when you do start racing. VERY rarely does these things fall into place onthe first try. Once you get a good set-up under your car don't make any big changes and just keep practicing. When iwas gunning for 11's I had a set-up that was running high 12's with good MPH and I knocked off .7 just from practicing and not changing anything. Working on the driver/car relationship is going to be the biggest speed mod you can do and it doesn't cost anything.
