You need to use the voxel size of the statistics image.

If you have 3x3x5 original voxels and come up with 130 voxel extent,
then you can't use 130 voxels if your image was resampled to 2x2x2.
You'd need to rerun AlphaSim (or rather 3dClustSim) with the
appropriate voxel size.

Don't forget to use the mask.img image as well to constrain the search region.
