95 Firebird, Budget drag car
so, been a while. picked up a 95 firebird formula from wildwood last year, turned it into a non street track only budget drag build. slowly derailing from the budget. Picked up that 385 LT1 that has been sitting dormant for some years on this forum, and here we are now.

bores looked clear, otherwise i probably wouldnt have purchased. cant afford to rebuild something right now.
it actually idled pretty well with just the injector constant changed and the cyl volume corrected. These were 32lb injectors right?
I even ran the plugs that were left in it  
It had plenty of compression dry, actually spun backwards after the first few cranks when i let off the key and shot out the intake LOL. Thought i killed the maf
