A little boost can work in an early car, but it won't be enough to get into the range of 85+ or Euro power, and a minor mess up in air fuel ratio and the engine is toast. More than a little boost and you need better brains like 85+ that can be sharktuned.

If you really aren't happy with the power of an 84 the cheapest by far is to buy one with what you want. Next up would be a better motor, Euro, Euro hybrid, or a US 85+.

My own choice is to keep my US 83 stock or at least stock looking, and build a Euro hybrid with a hot cam for my 85 Euro.

*** Euro hybrid is a US 85/86 5.0 short block with a Euro S top end.
