minimise electrical losses, yes i can see sense, although my car started out on webbers and the only electrics were a coil,

but by the time i'd finished i was running full engine management, wasted spark coils, double injectors (8 on a 4 cyl engine), two fuel pumps and an electric waterpump, my electrical load had gone up sereral hundred % but i also had 30bhp and 30lbft torque more and a much wider powerband removing that lot to save 5bhp doesn't add up, although most cars dont have so much in the way of electrics as i was running

now its turbo'd i have even more electrical load as the ecu looks after the boost level via an electric solenoid and measures boost with a map sensor
