    Hi, I am a new member but not, I have been following this site for several years now. The info was very useful in getting my mav ready for the track. I have a 70 mav with a 351 the article on the 6208's headers was the most useful yet also on cutting towers in which I have done. My mav has a narrowed 9 in in and fabricated some frame rails thay house 12in wide wheels and 28/10.5/15 slicks. I went to the track for the first time out sat night to race, everything works I have room for improvement on the tree though. The car started out with a 7.48 then went down to to 7.36 at 92mph 1/8 mile. I would like to tell everyone thinks for the useful info. I raced at N Wilksboro Dragway,NC :clap:
