Default Racetronix hotwire kit
the + wire is clearly labeled "Alternator" - is it okay to connect it to the + battery instead of the alternator?

Yes. But the altinator would look cleaner. It would be connected out of sight. Thats the way I'm doing it.

Have you thought of using the AUX post? Keeps the harness on the left side of the car away from the hot items, easy clean routing.

I thought the reason you would use the hook up on the alt. is because it will provide the highest voltage to the pump

shouldn't the voltage at the battery be around 14 volts when it is running anyway?

I think this is bad info. A Ls1 @17psi would be making 0ver 700rwhp and you wann throw NOS on top of it. All this power with only one pump? Sounds like a setup waiting to go
