Curious...how many racers run an alternator?

That being said I just tested this. I ran a gutted alternator. Pressed off everything but the fan and put it back together. No change in et. I have picked up 2/10’s when it threw both the power steering and water pump belts about 10 ft out, but no more power steering and no gain from removing alternator. Especially compared to the low voltage/having to charge the battery hassle.
