do you still have the stock e6 heads? Those will probably hold you back, but with traction (like drag radial or slick traction) you should be close.

84 doesn't have E6 heads, E6 signifies the year they were introduced which is 86. C=60s,D=70s,E=80s,F=90s.

84 heads are not good heads by any means. I would expect mid to high 14s. If its your first time racing expect low 15s or high 14s.

I just noticed in your sig it says you have trickflow headers. Do you mean heads? Because I dont think trickflow makes headers. If you mean heads I would expect low 13s or high 12s.

Trickflow doesn't make headers. With E6 heads expect the mid to higher end of 14s.

If you get gears maybe, but without gears no.

I said low 15s high 14s with the stock 84 heads. E6 heads are alittle better and even with 4.10s you would be lucky to get out of the 14s. Most guys with stock E7s are lucky to get out of the 14s. It is possible though.

E6s are terrible heads that are not worth the iron they are made of. Theres a reason ford only used them on the mustang for 1 year.
