Here is the place where I bought it. I'm not sure if any of our sponsors carry this so I will post the link. If there is a sponsor that sell this then please delete this link

Any updates on the dynosheet?

I ordered one from d'agostino racing for the same price. Should be here on the 10th of July.

I went ahead and replaced my alternator with 110 amp. I was able to increase my plug gap from .25 to .35 and no spark issues 6500 rpms in 3rd gear. I will try next week to open plug gap to stock .45 and see what it will do. It was a PITA to change it over because the alternator is larger you have less movement to adjust. I would buy several belts and just return the ones that don`t work. The cost at AutoZone was around $170.

Carl H were you able to run .45 gap on your plugs now with the new alternator?

I am not knocking the Kenne Bell. I still think it is a good buy I am just curious if the upgraded alternator will do the job instead. Most of us are running old alternators that need to be replaced anyway.

I can run up to 260whp on .040" gap on stock alternator. Getting over 300whp is when I have to tighten it up to .030".

DammitBobby: How much power are you running with at .035"?

Good question, I haven`t dynoed yet so I don`t know. The only gauge I have right now is datascan showing maf voltage. I did pull a GT mustang a few weeks ago before replacing spark plugs and opening the gap but GT`s are kind of slow.

Well have not gone to the Dyno yet. My ECU went out so just got a new one. Car was down for about 2 weeks. It was an old ECU from Enthalpy that the Chips have been changed out alot so I guess it got a bad solder joint. Not sure when I will be going to the dyno? I just rebuilt my PC to get ready for Quakecon in Dallas so all my money went there

heh, i might be goin to quakecon this year(if i get a good laptop or something, my pc is just too heavy to keep carrying around, not to mention old for most new games), i did get a byoc spot in there.

i know the KB boost a spark works fine on mustangs, and also the boost a pump, which i believe they use with many fuel pumps like walbro and so on.

think this would work well in conjunction with a blaster SS or something along the lines of that?

This will be my 6th or 7th quakecon I think. I have not missed one yet, well since I started going 6-7 years ago .

The Boost-a-Spark should work find a the SS coil. Just put the B-A-S to the + side of the coil, which is the same thing I am doing to mine, just mine is internal. I would think that would be better anyway actually.
