Default Weird Charging Issues! help

Car will hold 13+ volts with the rpms anywhere below 1500, the moment i go above that though, the volts drop to the yellow and check gauges comes on. Any ideas?

What does the voltage read with a hand held voltmeter on it? Don't trust the instrument cluster gauges.

yeah, thats the second one that went out like that. with the turn one pump, (since im autoxing and road racing) and the relo bracket i plan on solving that problem once and for all. Specially since this car is a 25k plus miles a year dd.

I just got it tuned for the cam sat and was planning on enjoyin it and then this **** happend lol
