16V makes cranking and startup much easier. If you have a borderline 12V battery and your ECM is picky about supply voltage, as the Electromotive is, the voltage supply to the ECM can drop too low during cranking to get the engine to fire off. Some supply 16V to the starter only and 12V to the rest of the electrical systems. That alone would be paradise with my setup.
Not running an alternator might be tough if you run into a series where you're demanded to return to the lanes immediately after your pass. One example is the finals for Pinks All Out. This would really be a problem with computers involved. Computers like their voltage.
