It may be that the engine accelerates at a greater rate than the regulator can control the alternator flux field. I am thinking of putting a couple of high current silicone diodes in series to lower the ABS supply voltage. That may solve this issue.

Other options may be installing an oversize pulley on the alternator and/or undersize pulley on crank, to slow down alternator's rpm's, and also installing a manual/remote disconnect switch from the alternator field wire, or bat terminal, and running solely off the battery during high rpm runs.

The crowd was jumping up and down as he stunned the Chevrolet drivers by easily passing the entire field to finish second behind MacDonald's other team Cobra. The Corvette people were completely demoralized."
