Hey guys. I have a Camaro 98 type wimpy alternator on this L92 motor. It has AC and large fans to run.

It seems to click in when the voltage reads 11.5V but I would like it sooner since the voltage drop seems to effect how the motor is running.

Any ideas how to do this in EFI live?

Maybe the regulator is bad.
I don't know of anything that controls the alternator in the LS1 PCM.
It always seemed ECT related to me. :nixweiss:

Follow up.

The solution to this is to email GMH308 for his computer alternator fix. Very nice fellow.

Also, got a custom built alternator online. I used a small 98 Camaro alternator but rewired for 200 amps to drive subs, no lag in 02's, dual fans, ac, etc.

I hope this helps someone.
