The early Alto numbers are the late OE design with 8 full teeth and 4 partial teeth, this was done in
an effort to reduce cost and material. When used with the stock production engine, it will perform
without any problems. When used with hi-performance engines there is a chance for diminished
performance.
The late Alto numbers have a set of 14 full teeth like the early OE design which will enable the
steel plates to handle the increased horsepower and torque produced by hi-performance engines.
Note: This update will affect Modules and Power Packs that include these steel plates
