I wouldn't expect the stock Alpha to run with the mod BTT....BTT will have about 7-8000 more RPM under loaded conditions......... On a track both engines will scream much higher as the front tires can unload thru center diff allowing the engine to spool up easier as the load is less........ I find engines operate at a lower RPM and take longer to reach that RPM when running on high traction pavement.........Give me that Alpha and I will bring its loaded RPM capability up about another 7-8000 RPM as well

typically stock engines will not be able to carry RPM under load like my modified can...... My dyno setup uses a very heavy flywheel mass which has given me the ability to tune the engines against a high load......Basically speaking the higher the load and traction, the more my modifieds will stand out...... on a low load condition many engines can reach higher RPM's easier....on the dirt if the front tires can slip it reduces the load on the engine and will allow the engine to spool up higher............
