New here, built and blown 87 firebird
First post here, just bought an 87 Firebird with a 406ci SBC with a Weiand 177 blower. It has run low 11s on drag radials and an essentially stock rear end (3.42s, Eaton posi). Really fun street/strip car, here's a couple pictures. I'll get some better shots when it decides to quit raining here:
