[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8744631, member: 591582"] x2. This is one of those things that people just have to deal with, with certain motors in cars. OP, you could get a big ole v8 that turns slow and you'll have alt power for days haha. I've even heard some people go as far as putting an artifical RPM limiter on their motor so they can run a smaller pulley for idle, but that'll get you killed on the road in a daily driver. Those small motors build all their power from high revving. I would never limit my RPM on a small motor like that, that's very dangerous. I wonder if super caps or something like that would help you here. I'm not super familiar with them, but some others may be. I'm sure there's a way to mitigate this problem, to some extent. [/QUOTE]
