Alternator Kit for 360 drag car/front motor plate

I had an alternator on my bracket car, but it didn't work out. Idling through the pits, starting the engine several times in staging, the 11 sec. blast just wasn't enough to charge the battery.

Some claim the higher voltage of the alternator will give a hotter spark, but I never saw any performance improvement.

I have seen one turned around backwards and mounted to the frame (alternators don't care about direction of rotation), but I don't know how it worked out.
