With a big enough battery your ride might be quicker. Keep it quiet.. I can see it now-- an ART fan rotation rule... ;~)

Thanks Adger, but they already are reversed. I didn't think I could afford the pusher fans with my blistering 105 mph LOL Probably would slow me down a bunch.
There is a distinct correlation to my voltage and my horsepower. Leaving the alternator off costs me a tenth (in the wrong direction) Even though I have a full sized battery in the stock location (short leads)
I run a Mezeire water pump, 2 LC1 wide bands, an A 1000 fuel pump, the electric fan, and my ECU (which works from 8 to 20 volts).
But on the track or on the dyno. When I disconect the alternator it slows or loses power.
I think the fuel pump is the biggest amp draw. Thats why I want to go to a smaller one.
I'm only making 240 HP (hope for 260) so the A 1000 is gross overkill.
