I drag a 79 mustang with a 351w that I shift at 6900 going through the traps at 7000. Trying to determine what the length of my collector tubes should be. Figure I would start around 16 inches. Anybody have any expertise in this? Thanks Big Ed.

Welcome to MM meloero!

I can't really say for sure, but from what I understand you use a crayon or something like that and mark it. It will burn off where they need to be cut.... it makes like a ring around the pipe.

Cheap header paint works too. Where the paint stops burning is where to cut em off.
