Fwd: [M] Alterpower alternator charging control switch

> Thought someone might find this interesting....  Good for 5 free hp at WOT.

Something to consider on the flip side - your alternator
puts out 13.x volts... where as a fresh battery puts out
12V.  As you use the battery more and more without charging
it, the voltage simply goes down.  Until about 9V when the
car stalls and you go camping at that exact spot :)

If my math is correct for the typical 85A GM alternators, it
would be about 2.1HP, not five.  But I could be wrong with
the math.  Just throwing it out there :)
