Thanks. Tried to make it look somewhat neat.

On here I've seen either 10-15hp or 10-15%, forget which one though. I wouldn't guarantee either of those numbers though

Also, running the factory 63 Amp alt. and at idle with low fans running, it still holds 14.1 volts. With lights on, it does drop to 12.8-13.0, enough to not actually drain the battery, but not enough to truly run the system. Have not forced the high speed on to see if it handles it at idle. Plan on doing the internal regulator swap to a 94 amp, hopefully later than sooner.

So far so good on keeping it cool, but only 67* out today.
