Anyone Have This?
From Intense Racing www.intense-racing.com
$74.99
"Your alternator is designed to put out a specific voltage, generally 13.8 volts. The only problem is when there'* a greater demand on the electrical system, like at wide-open throttle (WOT), the alternator falls a little short. The Casper’* Electronics V-Plus Volt Booster is designed to overcome voltage taper at WOT by stepping up the alternator voltage 2.2v. at and above 70% throttle. The Result? More power to your fuel pump and ignition system! This unit is completely plug-and-play, with no wires to cut or tap into. Includes all necessary hardware and instructions."

does it only cover the S2? :? Edit: just noticed it says for S2, but can it be adapted to older gens?
and whats up with that? why does your alternator LOSE voltage at WOT? I would think it would be the other way around

As far as I can tell the PCM regulates the output of the alt because I have never noticed an increase in voltage with the engine reving.

A smaller pulley and beefed up internals will increase current, not voltage. I know. I have one built like that (160 amp output).
The only way to modify voltage is to modify the voltage regulator in the alt or with Casper'* product. But don't expect a performance gain. Again, this is one of those things designed for the guy who'* trying to push from 12.005 on the quarter mile to 11.995.
I don't know of anyone that uses one.

The 92+ are regulated buy the PCM which applies a voltage feed to lite the field... On the 95 when I crank it up it shows 12v for a few seconds and then you see the gage swing right to 14...

But I do believe that the 00+ guys run a solid 14.2-14.5

My running voltage ranges from 14.5 - 14.8 v
If yours doesn't you may be a candidate for that gismo.
I notice it only boosts when the throttle position is 70% or higher, so it won't help you when you are idling or cruising around town.
