i planned to eventually (maybe next year) build a li-ion pack for it to run all the electronics in the car, especially since im converting both the water pump and ac compressor to run on electric motors vs dragging the engine down. Of course long trips ill probably still need the alt, but im hoping to get at least 6 hours of runtime from a li-ion pack. I can afford to add about 150 pounds of battery, since thats how much ill be lightening the car elsewise.
Voltage was down, to about 11.5 during the test, not sure what kind of numbers that could be mpg wise, but im sure it didnt help. Another test ill be doing next week is checking the stock computer vs the mopar performance pcm thats in there now. A lot of people have said that they never notice a diff in fuel economy when swtiching between the 2, so im going to do a test. The differences are that they mopar unit advances timing, but also ignores the egr. So my mileage numbers right now are egr-less.
