I would like some info on this as well.
I've got an Alpha question as well for you guys. I had great luck with them on my Scorpion with 320hp smallblocks. Any thoughts on which one is the strongest of the Alpha series? I have run Gen ones and even MR's. Even though it is an older piece the MR is a pretty durable unit as well.

When I rebuilt my Alpha 1's I tried to make them as strong as possible for the new 385ci so I used HD upper gears, late model non oring DS, and 13-21 lower gears shimmed to a tight .025" with a tight backlash for additional tooth engagement.
Hope this helps.

I'm not a premium member, but would be happy to post a picture for you all to see as soon as I get back to the lake to take one of my shorties! They have treated me great, and I'm pushing some serious hp through them - for an alpha anyway. I'll be up there in a week or so, and will get some pictures.
