No, I forgot my camera, I went straight from work. Nothing really changed, the belt was picked up higher off the crank hub, and the top pulley bracket was cleaned up and made prettier. Nothing really big, just astethitics

As soon as this goes into production I will be buying one. I have removed my alternator like 2000 times to adjust the rockers and I am getting a little tired of that

Yes they are available at Speed Specitialities web site. They are one of the site sponsors. I should be running mine tomorrow for the first time when I fire the engine. Hopefully I will have some video soon.

Re: Who wants to relocate the alternator and KEEP the AC??? IN HERE

Other then the need to loctite the housing bolts on the alternator case, they work great. I have run mine all summer so far, at the track, on the street, and over 300 miles at a time. No problems at all. I do get a small belt squeel, and I mean SMALL when I jab it hard off the line, but other then that nothing to speak of. PM me if you need any more help.

How did you go about extending the wire attached to the alternator? Just ordered on the other day so I have time to figure it out. Don't want to go the cheap route and splice it. Thanks.

Thats really the only option you have, other then to make new lines from end to end. I used some solder and heat shrink. I routed it around the back of the intake and down the valve cover valley on the drivers side.

They work wonderfully. I have ran mine all summer, as have numerous other people. No problems to speak of.
