This seems to be a really interesting idea, but I would like some more complete details. An estimation of the cost of the kit would be nice too. Since you have two cars with this sytem in place already, what kind of mpg difference have you seen for trip averages, and how much estimated wall power did you use. Any log term tracking or ABA testing?

The belts normally don't cost much, and are fairly each to change, so that isn't a large consern for me. I could see this being useful for users with lean burn engines, so they can keep the engines in lean burn mode while going up hills, cold starts, etc.
