The main reason I was talking about this mod is that on a race car, this one mod makes a easily measurable difference at high RPM, so the assumption is that it somehow lowers engine load without actually modifying the alternator system other than location, if a car goes faster the easy assumption is its less parasitic at the lower RPM but would still charge the alternator. Removing the alternator is not an option on many cars. But reducing its use still is. You can protect the diodes with caps, not that hard.
Of course it simply may not pay off at the lower rpms on the street. May make way more sense to just increase the alternator pulley size to slow it down./
