The gains would be too small to justify.

Was wondering this the other day too - would there be any HP gains, or just fuel efficiencies?
BMW has a system coming out soon that disengages the alternator when it's not needed, but they're hawking it as an efficiency gain, not performance, so no idea how much it would help. |

^That won't make a difference. It just sounds good to rich tree huggers who don't know jack shit about cars. I prefer the KISS method (Keep It Simple Stupid).

all you would get would be weight savings.
like 50lbs. which equals like 5 hp. in weight to power terms.

Not worth it. Do UDP's instead.

i have seen some hp pickup usually only 7-12 rwhp when removing it on the older 5.0 cars, you will have some gain because you aren't dragging the a/c clutch and rotors. but it already disengages when you are at WOT so it really isn't worth it
