    Dad and i ran the mav for the first time friday at the nearest 1/8th mile. We are running a 302 with a trick flow cam headers E7 heads and a holley double pumper. First pass was a 8.3 and the next 8.2 then the rain came. Hows those times sound for the aork done. Next thing on the list is a stall converter. She sucks out of the hole.

    Good job! The converter will help a BUNCH if it's matched to the engine's power curve ;)

    Sounds good. Convertor will help. What rear end gears are you running?:)
