All the electric motors run faster (window motors, fans, fuel pumps etc.) You might have to turn down the fuel pressure or change the injector opening time on an aftermarket ECM. The spark coming off the coil pack will be hotter (my friend picked up, on a dyno test, 40hp with this one change on his 800hp motor). The radio will handle it and the FAST loves the higher voltage. The down side is the cost and you will be replacing light bulbs more often.
