That's what I want to know anyway.
As much current as you can in a race without a drop no more then
3 tenths per lap time at the end of a race.
Using a chassis dyno this is what I found:
17.5= 27 amps peak
13.5= 37 amps peak
10.5= 47 amps peak
You don't really need to buy a chassis dyno.
Just use a meter in your vehicle and run on the track to measure drops to adjust your mechnical timing.
Just install between the battery and speedo:
