i don't think it'll help much at all, unless you have a weak battery. alternators are run by the pcm adjusting how much charge it needs to create, after you start the car the alternator starts recharging the battery then puts out very low current until you turn the lights on, plug your phone charger in, turn the ventilation on, run the stereo, etc. even then, complete alternator deletes only net you about 10% IIRC.
