Newer build on a BBC have not been able to open it up because when I hammer down it makes terrible sound. Any ideas?

I run a vac secondary holley 750. When WOT I hear a whistling sound in mine. Not sure if that's the type of noise u hear or is it something more extreme.

I run a cam driven alternator no belts. This sound has a grinding screech more than a whistle. It makes me throttle down but seems to run fine on primaries. I switched from a 950 dp to 850 dp and it did it in both cases.

My bad guys crank driven. I am switching water pumps at the time and have a cam driven water pump. Did the alternator sound fine at low rpms then screech when spinning 4500+?

It is a brand new alternator. The screech was present on old one also present on new one so I would think it is something else.
