Been spec'n out some things for a new car... What is the big advantage of running the 16V batteries, just the increased starting power or did I miss something else?????

I think I did on that 400 SB thread :p
We run 16 volt batteries in the race cars, we don't run an alternator. At the end of a race there's more juice left for the ignition boxes.
We went back to running an alternator on the drag cars, sometimes towards the end of the day they like to "quick round" the cars and I'd hate to get caught with a low battery and electronic ignition!!!!Quote:
