Simple minded me can easily figger out how to shut off the compressor during
WOT acceleration, you simply disengage the compressor clutch. The deal with
shutting down the alternator is a little more intriguing. Are you messing
with the regulator? It seems like a 90A relay in-line might be a bit much.
What other accessories get shut down? Water pump? (how?), hydraulic fluid
pump? (I'll probably skip that one ...)
Of course I must remember to wire the WOT switch to the valve that bypasses
the exhaust system .... ;)

It'll be nice to stop having to hit the OFF or ECON buttons on the C/C every
time I need a good launch on a hot day ....
