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 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

HEMIFRED master Joined: Jul 2010 Posts: 3,502 SOUTH JERSEY	Quote: new from powermaster a alternator that's both 12v and 16v Quote: This new racing alternator is called the XS VOLT The XS VOLT alternator still operates as a one-wire, meaning that the only connection necessary is the charge wire (or battery output). First of all, the voltage adjustment allows the racer to change the set point of the voltage system while the unit is running. The set point is the level that the unit sees as the goal, the perfect level of the electrical system. On the XS VOLT, turning a small potentiometer on the back of the alternator can move this set point. The range is 13.5V - 18.5V, allowing one alternator to be used with 12V and 16V batteries -and anything in between. Charging sensitive gel batteries at low voltages or using the hybrid 14V batteries are not a problem for the XS VOLT. This means that one XS VOLT alternator will work with your car no matter what battery you choose. home of the Sox and Martin Hemi Duster

I wanted to know if the people running 16v were running 1 battery or 2? Then to verify that if they were just running 1 16 volt battery that charging between rounds was sufficient.

Raisin, I ran only one battery no alternator on 2 different cars and will do so again with my Dart. First my dragster that sees very little electrical draw due to belt drive fuel pump and alky carb. Tops off in 10mins or less after driving up to lanes a few restarts and a full pull and drive back. My Top Sportsman car add nitrous fuel pump and nitrous selanoid draw, longer cool down due to race gas and got towed to and from the lanes would take 15-25 mins to full charge. Hope this helps.

Anymore data to be released on this topic? I'm thinking of going this direction. Curious about 12v bulbs....? If you like drag racing, support your local track.
