Default My first car

I bought a 69 firebird this year, It came from Alabama a couple of years ago and I am the second owner in Canada. I am new to the muscle car world all so not to smart when it come to fixing them to new. It has a chevy 454 stroked to a 461 4 speed, dics brakes all around and a ford 9 inch rear end it has been lowered an inch. The first weekend I had it I went drag racing and what a rush my first time. I learnt a lot like I have traction issues and what I would like to set up for drag racing the best time I could get was 14.7 and that was limping it out of the hole.
