I'm pissed they don't have anything new for small blocks, it's not like they don't sell out of the 190s all the time.

Considering they sell out the small block heads all the time they should get off their *** and do a new/bigger version of that!.

A 165 amp puts out around 100 at idle where as a 100 amp alternator typically puts out around 60 amps. Cruising with everything on at night my car would be right at the limit with 60 amps at idle.

No lol, I went with what several shops recommended since I have quite a bit of amp draw from the fans/accessories etc and then there is the future nitrous setup. The potential exists for being close to maximum output with 120 amp max rated alternator at idle and I like to have room.

Are you not having slipping issues with the 95amp or the 165amp?, I am running the 165amp on mine. Agree on the belt tension, of course I think the quality of belts (and most all rubber products) now days are crap lol.

I just spoke with total seal recently to order a set of gas ported rings and he told me they just take a regular set out of inventory and machine them. Mine were filthy as well when they showed up and looked like they just came out of the machine complete with the lubricating oil still on them.

I am running that same alternator in my car. If I had it to do over again I would probably go dual groove pulleys as it gets squealy at times with bigger draws and the belt is about as tight as I like it. In addition to the fans, fuel pump etc. I have to have a stereo in my street/strip car to...

I had every intention of doing this same type of test and was about 80% there to having all the pieces but then reality sunk in. There was no way I was going to be able to commit the money as well as the time considering my full time job, my side job and all the rest of life to make it happen in...

Don't forget that Ritter's caps are out past the factory register

I am just trying to figure out where all these average mopar guys are that are wanting to build a 600hp small block lol. If a mopar guy truly wants to build 600hp he isn't on this forum complaining about not having a head that will take stock style bolt on's and make 600hp, he has done his...

I just want to add that regardless of flow or performance or whatever, the trick flow actually is not an edelbrock copy, it is a much better designed casting than anything you mentioned.

Nope, got nothing to do with defending a friend, he can stand on his own. I got an alert and just had to bust out laughing at what you said, too rich to pass up!, I got things to do, enjoy your evening.

OMG! only you would not get the hypocrisy of that statement!:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: I couldn't let that one go lol

The thing is when you go public on a forum this big and complain about a person, a company or anything, you are stirring up a hornets nest no matter the reason for doing it.
