Very nice looking setup.
If I could ask were did you get your alternator and brakets from?
Cheers

Alternator is a 93MM Denso that is sold by Powermaster and Summit carries them. Don't let the 93 MM confuse you. The Mounting bracket is made for this alternator that has 138MM center to center measurment on the mounting lugs (you can see this on the link provided). 93MM is the case size.

Rons Valiant ran so good that he damaged the oil pan and headers. The car dead hooked, and pitch rotated so fast in the wheelie that it went to the rear bumper, came down somewhat gentle, then stood straight back up again on the bumper. At that second wheelie is when the car came down and did a number on 4 header tubes and the new oil pan. At that point he just drove it home because he was late to work. He only made 3 passes, 2 of them easy passes and the one that it went on the bumper TWICE. It MPH'd better than his Demon and the weather was HOT and HUMID. I think Rn is happy with the performance.

I talked to Ron after the facts and he`s just a real smart intense guy and felt really insulted by some peoples comments and had no time or desire to be insulted. That`s the basic version as I remember........lots of "experts" rambling stuff they had no clue about.

I`d say it`s time to ether limit the ft. end or get some wheelie bars.
