[QUOTE="sundownz, post: 6889545, member: 549523"] Yah, it was four 1500Ds with I believe 9x Powermaster 16v batteries. While it was cool to see the meters read 14k from four 1500Ds -- that is why I don't suggest clamping power with two meters on peak hold, as it gives inflated numbers... nearly every clamp test you see online was done this way and is therefore extremely inaccurate. In my setup that method reads 700 extra watts vs. my clamp meter (4500 watts vs. 3800 on mine). My meter is alot closer to an accurate figure than you typically get from "clamp tests" For the purpose of the competition organization it works fine as everyone is clamped the same way -- it is used to put you in the proper class.
