Default Voltage Boost & Alternator Rewire

Would there be any benefit to adding the Voltage Boost module or the Alternator rewire that many did on the 3800 NA & S/C W-bodies? Not sure if the Voltage Boost would even work on the new W-bodies...says only '96-04

it would help the alternator stabilize under idle in gear, no more diming lights, funky interior light flashing.

I bought the alt. rewire kit from ZZP this afternoon. We'll see what happens. For what it is, it could likely be done at home for negligible cost, but i feel better getting something "ready to install"...and i didn't pay much for it.

Should be interesting to see if it does actually help with the dimming lights. If i'm idling and put up a window, i notice the headlights dim...hopefully this cures that. I know it's "normal" but it's annoying.

I'll buy it to get rid of that problem, it's a great price for an OEM looking piece.
