I sent the following msg to Racing Beat inquiring about the possibility of
using their small pulley on the Renesis to slow down the water pump and
alternator...

Your message was forwarded to Jim Mederer, Racing Beat's co-founder and
chief engineer for review. His reply is as follows:

   At this point, we do not plan to offer a pulley to slow down the water
pump of an RX8.  We have tested the flow characteristics of the water pump
and it would be unwise to slow it down.  This is quite different from the
situation with very early rotaries running at higher-than-stock rpm.  If you
plan to run the engine at less than 8000 rpm, you may want to INCREASE the
water pump rpm to get more flow!

So what would this mean reguards the alternator?
