Miguels Posted March 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 so i have an update out with the old as you can see, i was having belt slip even with a 3/4 inch shorter belt. the next belt below that was 1 1/2 shorter so i got it even after thinking its a bit too small in with the new per mechman instructions i did not need ground but im a believer of overkill the ground was added to the rear bolt after the bracket was sanded down that beefy 2/0 sky high the belt was a bit hard but figured it out to get it in with no struggle all done my resting voltage before start up.. dont want to void warranty so the battery was topped off first start up.. this alternator has not whine at all. most HO alts i have used has had lots of whine, even my other mechman. dont know if its due to the technology or that this time i used the right belt size. got to love that cold voltage. hopefully it doesn't drop too much when hot. if it does i have the vcm to take care of that issue please note that i did not remove the singer due to its performance or issues. its something i did due to the hairpin and the tech mechman had to offer for my needs. Singer was not able to build me a hairpin on my case so i had no choice.. i have other plans for that singer and will go in my other build that i need bad for the power i will run my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguels Posted March 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 im liking this beast.. the reason i rev the engine was because my last mechman would jump on voltage to at least 15.9v. this one dont flinch at all and its damn quiet. my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't the 3cfab arms only 5/8's extended? I have 3/4 inch extended BMR's and have no issues front to rear on the rear wheel wells. 96 Impala SS Memphis 2000D, Memphis ST-3004, MB Quart RAA-2400, Custom PSI Tc9 12 's Ascendant Audio Poly Mids and Vifa XT25 tweets Active 97 RCSB Silverado 3way Crystal Comps, ID10 ported, Off a US acoustics 4085 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
