I know there is a wire for sending info back to the ecu to sense load when its in use, for the a/c. is there also one for the p/s which i have removed.. i have disconnected the a/c since i dont use it.. and plan to also remove that, once i've had someone dis-charge the system in an eco-friendly manner..

So now i'm assumeing the ecu doesn't have a load reading, and doesn't compensate. Or is over compensateing cause it doesn't know there is any load..

I have a 400-watt lighting system installed, and the load from the alternater needing to crank out more power. Is noticable.. turn the brights on , the full 400watts and it drops 200 rpm.. does anyone sell an over drive pulley for the alternater? how much of a power loss would this create? a bigger pulley would decrease the rpms at the alt-pulley and therefore reduce the ammount of power created at low rpms.. could result in not chargeing the battery completely.. if it drops below 12v the car wont run.. the ignition will miss etc etc..

Now putting 24v's through the system resulted in a very noticable gain in power throughout the rpms..
but the wires are not rated for this so i can't run this all the time.. and the stock in ecu v-regulatoer won't handle or allow this either...

which wire or wires will i need to look for, and is there a jump, or place i can attach it to. So the ecu can adapt to various loads... Mostly i'm concerned about hard acceleration from 0-80mph and again hard acceleration from 80-140mph.. say in 5th gear.. and also
having additional weight in the car.. sometimes over 200lbs.. does the ecu or PCM have a way of knowing this and compensating for it some how? i'm guessing adjusting timing.. or how the clutch will engage even if its fully engaged.. it seems to fade in.. tho much stronger then if i faded in myself..
