DO IT! You will have no regrets. You will wonder why you waited so long. Not only will your motor spin like you pulled the sparkplugs all your fans and pumps will run like they are on steroids! When I switched my dragster to 16v I turned on the fan for the first time I thought it was gonna take off like a helicopter!

I always wondered how it work on a street cars lights blinkers etc. Can 12 v bulbs handle the 16 v juice and how much is an alternator? Sorry to hi-jack...........

why not ? None if it's fully charged makes no difference if from an alternator or battry charger. its charged. if it's needs attention crarging between rounds you can tell with a volt meter

at full charge my volt meter reads 18. East coast alternator makes 16volt alternators. I don't run an alternator at the moment.

I wouldnt mind running the added voltage for the
ignition system but my engine cranks over plenty
fast enough but if I did I would want the alt and reg
but I'm sure they are pricey
