You are spinning the alternator but have cut exciter power right to get your gains correct?
If you picked up about 4% with the alt spinning at no load, that is good.
I think I could pick up 2 or 3 times that with out spinning the alternator in my truck. I expect big gains from a mod like this since the coolant pump is is now electricly driven.
35mpg with a huge truck could be possible.
