What gear ratio on the alpha?
Why aluminum? Have you considered a stainless with a rubber hub?
Aluminum isn't typically good for performance applications, because of its lack of strength and corresponding flexing at speed.
Have you done a search on this forum? A lot of guys here run similar engine numbers and have posted their results here.
Sorry for the response of questions, but more details please.
