I had sent it out to be tested at their facility and they gave it a clean bill of health. I know its hooked directly to the battery, but my car seems to be running a + charge all the time. Any suggestions on what to change? My alternator and regulator are good. Thanks. 416 stroker from Nick at Compu-flow. 11.14 in full street trim. Seems like a new best every time out. 11.06 open headers----so far!!

A needle position on an inaccurate factory gauge? A needle position on a possibly accurate aftermarket gauge? Or an actual reading of a volt meter?
