i really don't know if you can have a belt too tight....
for reference... i've never heard my belt squeal. I also only have a 150 watt amp in my car.... and have never ran my battery low. I want this stock battery to last me 5-6 years.... I'm a cheap bastage. |

well this morning when i started my car and started monitoring voltage a saw a drastic difference in behavior from my electrical system.
for one the voltage hung around 14.45-14.5 for about 3 minutes or so before calming down to 14.3-14.4 and then finally stayin at 14.35/6 which is....very nice and unexpected. The voltage seems very stable also (with the occasional hiccup) even with loud music and at idle in Drive it stays around 13.6-13.8 and in P or N its around 13.9-14.1 I dont know what to attribute it to but im about to go redo as much of my engine wiring as i can for preventative maintenance before it gets dark.

if your checking voltage at the amp... then the new ground could've made a difference... but if you are checking it from a fuse box, or direct from the battery that wouldn't have made a measurable difference.

Flexo PET...it's from Techflex. Great stuff. Partsexpress sells it as well. I'd love to see these pics that A has put up but this government computer blocks them...
I'll have to wait until tonight to look at them.

great pics and along with the MPG bump, which I totally believe because I know with my current draw (pardon the pun) I have lost MPGs, do you think that this affects power/torque band stability?

sqcomp do you have a fuse from alt positive to battery positive? Good to have one there. Hate to see a short and fire under the hood

I'm looking at new battery terminals that will have mini ANL ports much like my distro block in the back. I'll be having the new terminals custom machined to fit my exact needs. These street wires terminals are nice and all but really a dime a dozen in my world.
My MPG got a bump of two when I first put the additional wire on. That changes with 150 lbs of stereo gear installed and all that fiberglass is the trunk. My last road trip netted me 42.735 MPG. Not bad for not being a hypermiler IMHO.
