So when you jam the throttle, the alternator cuts out freeing 5-10 hp? =
Then
since there's no alternator the car's voltage drops from 14.4V to =
12.2V.
All those fancy new electrical pumps will run much nicer at 14V than =
at 12V,
not to mention your ignition circuit. Try taking your car for a rip =
without
the alternator plugged in. It defenately will be slower due to less =
voltage
reaching the coil, transferring into less voltage out of the coil, =
less
voltage to the sparkplug, less powerful spark! Its a good idea put =
unless
I'm missing something I would reconsider.
