Can I run low-13's with this combo???
I have an 84 TA with the Goodwrench 350, 700R4, 3.73 posi rear. Chevy High Performance did a buildup on this motor about 5 years ago and got some amazing results. I recently acquired a perfect set of Vortec heads for $50. Im planning on going with the Vortec heads, a Comp XE262 cam, 2500 converter, and headers to go with my 3" Flowmaster catback. I was wondering if this combo would go low 13's? Ive heard of similar combos getting into the 12's in a thirdgen. How realistic is this. By the way, this car would be run at 600ft above sea level.

I will be using the GM Performance spreadbore intake for Vortec heads. It also comes with EGR provisions.

Go with the XE274. You would be building a vortec headed 350, there are a few people on here running in the 11's with them N/A (Pony Killer) and several people running in the 12's. Mine's best last season was 12.28 @ 111.85 before my valvesprings went away and mid 11's on a small shot of nitrous. Just make sure to keep the compression up if you go with the XE274.
, Traction becomes a bit of an issue...the XE274 is a nice cam choice.
