After looking at my logs from Bowling Green, Dad and I figured out that the alternator was not charging during the runs. It was at the starting line and during deceleration at the end of the track. I turned my cooling fan off during one of the runs to determine if the load was too much and there was no effect. The only other was a slipping belt. The belt was as tight as I could get it due to no real good way to tension the belt.
We made a better way.
I upgraded to the 140amp CS series alternator.
I had to cut into the bracket to clear my intercooler pipe and radiator hose. I now have 14.36 volts at idle. I installed a 4 gauge charge wire to the battery.
Don't know if this has ever been done before, but if this idea helps anyone with a belt tensioning issue please use it.
