So my co-worker and I just had a wild idea. how hard would it be or better yet can I unplug the voltage regulator during and autocross run without hurting anything?
Benefits would be the altenator is free-wheeling vs stealing a couple HP. Should help acceleration too???? |

On a injected car... losing the alt is a kick in the pants. It is certainly more than 1hp when you turn the alternator off. I used the switch method in the past. Very easy. I switched it at the regulator plate. Turned the alt off right before timed runs in PCA time trial series (3 laps)
