I do it for consistency, not necessarily ET.
On my 2300 turbo, you could hear the idle pull down when you switched on the alternator.

The Monte has never had the alternator switched off. Not even on record passes.
It dials pretty well, and follows along with the big boys' ET's.
Of course, it has the stock computer (which Ed re-did for us), and also stock ignition.
Plus the trans doesn't use any juice either.
So, who knows, without a-b-a testing within a reasonable time frame?
