Alternator mod I once heard you could run a switch to the alternator to turn it off & reduce drag while at the truck. All this without removing the belt. Anyone know what I'm talking about and how to do it?

The first thing I do to all of my cars is remove the antenna. This has proven to be a great weight saving mod. I also recommend COMPLETELY draining your coolant before a big race because water does weigh 8.33lbs per gallon.
Don't forget to add that alternator switch too.
