I'm dropping the alternator and moving to a 16 volt system. My fans for the radiator and trans cooler are SPAL and Derale, respectively, and my fuel pump is a Holley blue. None of these are rated for 16 volts, so would you recommend a step down or does anyone have experience with them running on 16 volts?

Pretty good thread on 16v here:

Even with 16 volts, why don't you want to run an alternator? We ran our Nova without one for years and I was dragging the charger around and hooking it up after every pass. Neither of our cars sees a charger all season now unless there is some type of problem like a battery going bad. Love it!
