Take a look at this system. I hear its cats meow for good clean power.

I have all the powermaster stuff ( 16 volt battery XS powermaster alternator and battery charger ) no problems here.

Car sees 17.8 volts all the time .

Second pass off the trailer I went a easy 7.90 @ 194 MPH .

Should work good in your car.



6.50 @ 226 MPH 4.25 @ 186 MPH

We are running a Kinetik Racing 16 volt battery and really like it. Has more cranking amps and load amps than all the other brands. We had a problem that we now know was caused by our battery charger (Turbo Start) and they replaced the battery with no questioned asked and all I had to send to them was the vent cover and the decal. They paid all the shipping. Great customer service!

Thanks!

I've heard good things about the Powermaster batteries. We ran Turbostart batteries for years, and only had real problems seemingly as the parent company started to go downhill. I loved them. I'm still a big proponent of the 16v philosophy. In the Duster ( KB Hemi, fogger, Elec. h20 pump, 2 fuel pumps, Spal fan, 7531 ign, 10.5 tire, yadda yadda) , the pumps were "happier" at 16v. We did have issues on the day Ralph was trying to get his licence, so we swapped 2 12v batteries out of the F-250 diesel. We had one really bad battery that was dragging the other one down. In comparison, the fan almost seemed sluggish. The fuel pumps sounded anemic. And the car ran hot. We didn't see a big loss in performance, but then again, the car wasn't very consistent either. I say go for the Powermaster 16v system and follow their reccomendations.


I'm Gumby dammit!

At full charge they have 16 volts ..or close to it and the electrical items you have "like" to be run at 12 volts or again, close to it

I spoke the the MFG and he said ,no need to do anything else..Just change battery and go for it

The car starts at the hit of the switch, it hardly even turns over

The fuel pump, fans, everything work as intended

Due to the fact after it runs a bit you are still having a real 12-13 volts

I think it works fantastic !

Its a expensive change over $600 or so for battery and charger

ok , i think theres more than plopping this 16 v battery in ..

the voltage regulator will limit the voltage to the coil and instruments so the 16 volt will
only feed the starter and coil in start position ?
