Rebuilt alternator and new front tires

Its been a while since the last post so heres whats happened recently:

Old alternator was only putting out 10 volts at idle which is expected since the cam is so large, but the MSD system needs a constant 12 at all times. $180 later, my 140 amp alternator was rebuilt and I now have 12 volts all the time... hooray.



Next issue was the front tires. The old ones were crap and too skinny (245 wide), so they were replaced with BF Goodrich G-force T/A KDs (275 wide). The handling difference is quite noticeable as entry speed into most corners has gone up by about 5mph.. also they look pretty damn cool as well.
