There's a very hundred Mopars around here all useing the constant output regulator. Nobody has any complaints. Mine runs better with it more voltage to coil. I use a .8 ohm resistor. My local speed shop has been putting the constant out regulators in every electronic conversion since they came out. I've used them for years. Never had a problem. Never killed a battery. I'll stick with what i know works from my experience not what i read in the lastest issuse of hot rod mag.
