Need More Voltage, Help!!
When my car idles my voltage is like at redline, bottom redline. I need more voltage. My alternator is pretty good, it keeps the car running without the battery connected. What would I need to change this besides a better alternator.

If you've run the engine with the battery unhooked the alternator might be toast. The high power alts. don't last long with a low/no resistance load. Also, do you have underdrive pulleys? They will cause this especially with the fans running.

If its really low then you have a major problem. My car would only show about 12 volts and it ended up being the fuel pump. As they age they eat up more juice. I bought the a new Racetronix pump and alternator harness and all is good. Adding the harness to my car with the old fuel pump bumped my voltage up to 13.5.
