putting together 1st carbed engine..86 hardtop iroc....your thoughts?

first things first...i had a complete 350 rollerblock, lt1 flattops, comp 280 HR .525 lift .224 @ 50 balanced with RHS pro action 200 cc heads and a HSR intake in my shop, heads and intake got sold...SMH

i found a cherry of an 86 hard top iroc, no rust, never wrecked, title says 3116 curb weight, ive installed tubular bmr k-member and tubular a-arms, stock tpi car

that being said, ive got 3 tpi setups, and a dozen carbs/intakes im eyein the RPM perfomer and a 600 holley mechanical sec, whats my best bet for gettin this car to run a solid 12?

ive got hedman longtubes, dual 2.5 all the way to the rearwheels, no mufflers, no cats
ive got 2 sets of ported camelhumps, and a set of vortec heads

i know its a stock tpi car, just not really looking to ditch the dough on another HSR, whats your thoughts...
