Hmmm..Interesting. So, you just have two 16V batteries and charge them after you're done or?

1 16v battery it should be plenty more than enough to run what I need run during a pass.

Need to figure out battery load...

A single 16V battery worked for both Phil and I, but neither of us run an electric fuel pump...

I milled 0.25" off the back of a stock camaro alt bracket. Then bolted it up, and I plan on actually only using one of the stock bolts so that I can space the alt down with a heim joint.

I would never run a fuel injected car without an alternator.

I'm beginning to think that is the only option. I am fuel injected (BS3) and a 2-3 stage Nitrous system. In addition to the typical Transbrake setup... I really need to figure out what I can do here.

Madman, what have you seen or done with folks with LSX block builds? I have the passenger side of the block figured out with my dry sump but I'm kinda stuck on the drivers side. I have the drive pulley on the crank but just need to figure out a mount.

When I was planning on runnin an alternator and stock style balancer I milled my BMR bracket down a 1/4" everything lined up so that would be a simple solution if you have the means to do that.
