Re: alternator
I've had great service from PowerMaster as well. Mine is the smallest 50amp they have and I do have to charge between rounds to keep the battery topped off. But I figure it takes the least amount of HP while still being functional.

Re: alternator
I agree with Alan. I've also been very happy with their customer service.

Re: alternator
PowerMaster X4 here!
I've been experimenting with pulleys trying to get a balance between charging rate and parasitic drag. Also looking at a WOT cut-out switch to see if there's anything there.

Re: alternator
I think that's the better way to go rather than too small amperage wise.

A switch could also be mounted by the carb, to kill it @ WOT, but would also be just one more thing to deal with during tear downs, and working on the engine. I finally just went to 16 volts.

Re: alternator
Contact Mark at House of Payne, he can get th Powermaster up to 75amps in the small version. I like this one for EFI to have the charging capability.
