I run 2 Turbo Starts in both of my SS cars as I need the extra weight regardless to meet minimum weight. For what it's worth, when I switched to 16V from 12, I made no changes, just bolted them in, fuel pressure, etc did not change. Interestingly, I was just this week getting my #2 car out of 'mothballs', it had not been fired in over 18 months and the 10 year old Turbo Starts were still at 15.9 volts after sitting for that long so no complaints. Neither of my cars have charging systems, I usually charge between rounds just to be safe but they can easily run a full day without.
