say its cuts out the Alternator at WOT...

 

yea, it was discussed recently
it does work from what i recall, but it definately won't give you a 5-20 hp boost

 

$69? Make it yourself for $5, but it's not gonna pick up that much horsepower, maybe .5

 

im not gonna buy it, just what makes the car pick up that little bit of power

 

basic physics....power is not created nor destroyed, only changed form.

there is a given amount of drag that is associated with generating electricity in the alternator. the alternator uses physical energy and converts it to electrical energy. by removing the demand for charge you eliminate this added drag. (lammens terms)

basically puts the alternator into freespin, the engine only has to spin the pulley and the internals...

probably worth 1-2hp

i would think it would take more than $5 to build it yourself. you need to figure out how to trigger it at WOT...a wot switch costs a little $$, not to mention a few bucks for the wire, connectors and relay.

i always thought of just rigging a switch to cut off the alternator...that's real cheap

 

that's what I was talking about.

 

My god at how he listed the damn thing !!
