UNLAWFUL RACE & ENGINE TECH

I ran an alternater up until 2005. The bearing locked up breaking the belt at 8,000 and took out the water pump wiring during the burn out. The motor had catastrophic failure late in the pass due to overheating. I did not buy another alternator because I ran a 16Volt system and did not need to. The car would have been more overweight with one.

I am planning on installing an alternator as I plan on doing lengthy street drives this year. Not class racing with a low minimum weight so it should not hurt anything.

I don't understand why this thread turned into a debate on whether or not to run an alternator.
