I have the SmokinHawk bracket. Damn sturdy and only $110 and not $300 like some want for theirs.

Does it change the rpm of the alternator?

Same belt replacement, or does it require a special belt?

rpm of the alternator stays the same, then only thing that would change that would be an underdrive crank pulley or if you somehow switched out the pulley on the alt.
it requires a different belt, but keeps the stock tensioner.

Do you know the specs on the belt it requires?
