Reviewing the logs on my car after a few pulls and notice the voltage steadily drops on full noise. 

Now I assume this is normal as the injectors, pump(s),  and other items are all drawing more. 

Does 13.8 to 12.8 then back to 13.8 in a gear change sound normal ?

Also is the ecu good at measuring voltage or is it giving false numbers due to its own demand ?

 

 

Extra info:

Car runs staged pumps, volt drop increases slightly as second pump comes on but really its steady angle down. 

The alternator is aftermarket 120amp jap brand.

Shouldn't drop, if it is there are signs of current demand overwhelming supply.

FWIW, I run 1x DW200 lift, 2x Walbro 450Ls (via PWM) and voltage is flat across the RPM range at full tilt as per logs.

All this is on a Circuit Sports 90amp alternator. Most of the power wiring is factory bar an additional engine to chassis earth strap and a new battery to chassis earth using 4GA audio cable because that's what I had lying around.
