So my co-worker and I just had a wild idea. how hard would it be or better yet can I unplug the voltage regulator during and autocross run without hurting anything?
Benefits would be the altenator is free-wheeling vs stealing a couple HP. Should help acceleration too???? |

Ok, but how does unpluging the regulator decrease the work the engine does to turn the alt? They don't have a clutch like an AC compressor. Don't they spin the same no matter what the VR does?
