Went back to the original alternator with the new 4" pulley. The new alternator rear face of lower mounting hole was far from square causing my crooked alternator problem. Also got the right size smooth v-belt (Dayco) and had no more trouble with losing belts.

Still learning the new motor and adjusting my launch technique. Burnout seems more difficult to keep the car in place I think from weight distribution more on the rear than before.

I got eliminated 2nd round in two classes but car was running well consistent 12.0-12.1... cracked off an 11.97 after I turned on the red light my last run.

Still quite a bit detuned but I'm going to sneak up on it slowly...

Anyone use MSD's timing controller? I'm thinking of getting one so I can more easily adjust the timing to fuel, weather, etc.

Thanks for all your help guys,

Chris
