Seems like it could benefit from some sort of harmonic balancer, though that would add weight. :)

Good idea. There is also an oil return passage near there. I've thought about trying to splash some of that oil in the gear's direction, but that would require block drilling.

It sounds like the Accuvolt is a big DC-to-DC convertor (SMPS) that has a big charge-pump. Just a note that as the input voltage from the battery drops the current demand on it will go up. In other...

An alternative is to regulate for 12.0-12.6V. You won't charge the battery but you maintain fully-charged battery voltage on the system. Still burning some HP, but not as much because the charging...

Hehe. My memory works similarly. My daily driver (Frankentona) has a S70. I do a fair amount of city driving so it's pretty much floored most of the time. Were this true, I'd have to put my car...

Indeed, I dont think that is true...at least not with the LM. It's an interesting idea, though.
