Casper V-plus Volt booster, worth buying? http://www.ls1speed.com/catagory.cfm.../%20Electrical
"Your alternator is designed to put out a specific voltage, generally 13.8 volts. The only problem is when there's a greater demand on the electrical system, such as a WOT blast, the alternator falls a little short. The V-Plus is designed to overcome voltage taper at WOT by stepping up the alternator voltage 2.2v. at 70% throttle. Result? More power to your fuel pump and ignition system. Unit plugs in, with no wires to cut or tap into. Includes hardware. "
Costs $70, is it worth it? I plan to run nitrous soon down the road so is there really any issue with fuel and/or spark because of voltage drop at WOT?

Its probably just a capacitor, dunno.
Either way, the Stereo & Electronics section is more appropriate section for this question:

snake oil..... move on , dont waist your $$$...
the higher your rpm the faster you alternator is turning, it has a voltage "regulator" for a reason.. your ignition is made to run on 12 volts, your alternator will do everything it needs to as long as it has not gone bad... and this thing wont fix that either...
